Patrick Utley

Patrick Utley has 30 years' experience in boatbuilding, commercial fishing, and yacht delivery around the world. He spent many years living aboard, and cruising the world on his sailboat. He now directs the Greenheart project.

The Greenheart project is an NGO developing a carbon-neutral sail/PV ship for commercial applications in the developing world. Using container-sized holds as core elements, Greenheart designers are creating an appropriate technology ship for marginalised communities to use for opening new sustainable niches in cargo-carrying, fisheries, ferry service, and tourism.
