Umjaho Wehora Le-11 Umemezela Izibonelelo Ezintsha

14 January 2019 (NEWPORT, RI) - I-11th Hour Racing namuhla imemezele abaxhasomali abayisishiyagalombili, abamele izinhlangano ezihlukahlukene namaphrojekthi e-US nase-UK Ixhaswe yi-The Schmidt Family Foundation, Uhlelo lwe-11th Hour Racing luzibophezele ekuhlanganiseni ukuhamba ngomkhumbi, olwandle, kanye nemiphakathi yasogwini ukudala ushintsho oluhlelekile lwempilo yezilwandle zethu.

I-11th Hour Racing ixhasa ngezimali amaphrojekthi aqhubekisela phambili indawo eyodwa noma ngaphezulu kwezilandelayo okugxilwe kuzo:

• Izixazululo ezinciphisa ukungcoliswa kolwandle; 
• Amaphrojekthi akhuthaza ukufunda nokubhala kolwandle kanye nokuphatha; 
• Izinhlelo ezithuthukisa ubuchwepheshe obuhlanzekile kanye nezinqubo ezingcono kakhulu ezinciphisa umthelela wemvelo embonini yasolwandle kanye nemiphakathi yasogwini; 
• Amaphrojekthi abhekana nokuguquguquka kwesimo sezulu kanye nezinkinga zekhwalithi yamanzi ngokubuyiselwa kwe-ecosystem (okusha kwangowezi-2019).

“Sijabule kakhulu ukumemezela lo mzuliswano wezibonelelo, ohlanganisa amaphrojekthi amakhulu avela kubantu asebenesikhathi eside abathola isibonelelo sikahulumeni kanye nalabo abasanda kuthola izibonelelo abanezinhloso eziguquguqukayo,” kusho uMichelle Carnevale, uMphathi Wohlelo, i-11th Hour Racing. “Sikholelwa ebuhleni bokukhuthaza ukuqamba okusha nobuholi ngenkathi sixoxisana nemiphakathi yasendaweni ngezindaba zomhlaba. Ngonyaka odlule abantu abangu-565,000 bafundiswa izibonelelo zethu, futhi sizoqhubeka nokweseka izinhlangano ezihlukahlukene ezisebenzela umgomo ofanayo wokubuyisela impilo yasolwandle.”

Amaphrojekthi amasha asanda kusekelwa i-11th Hour Racing afaka izinhlangano ezilandelayo (ngokulandelana kwezinhlamvu):

Ukufinyelela Olwandle Oluhlanzekile (US) – Lolu xhaso luzosekela umkhankaso osanda kwethulwa othi Healthy Soils, Healthy Seas Rhode Island, ukubambisana phakathi kwezinhlangano ezine zendawo ezisungula izindlela zokuvundisa amabhizinisi, izakhiwo zokuhlala, kanye nabantu ngabanye. Lolu hlelo lunikeza ithuba lokuphambukisa imfucuza endaweni yokulahla imfucumfucu yaseRhode Island, okulindeleke ukuthi ifinyelele umthamo wawo ngo-2034. Lolu hlelo luphinde lufundise umphakathi wendawo ngokuthi ukwenza umquba kunciphisa kanjani ukukhishwa kwesisi esibamba ukushisa okubangelwa ukulahlwa kokudla, kwakha inhlabathi enempilo futhi kuthuthukisa izinga lamanzi.

eXXpedition (UK) - i-eXXpedition iqhuba uhambo lwabesifazane bonke ngomkhumbi oluklanyelwe ukufundisa ababambiqhaza ngamapulasitiki namakhemikhali anobuthi olwandle. Lesi sibonelelo sizosekela i-eXXpedition Round-The-World 2019-2021 esanda kumenyezelwa, ezosingatha abesifazane abangaphezu kuka-300 emilenzeni yohambo lwe-30, bevakashela ama-ocean gyres amane kwamahlanu. Ukwengeza, umsunguli we-eXXpedition u-Emily Penn uzoqhuba izinkundla zokucobelelana ngolwazi ezinhlanu kulo nyaka emiphakathini ehamba ngomkhumbi nasogwini mayelana nendlela yokubhekana nokungcoliswa kolwandle kusetshenziswa inethiwekhi, amaqembu kanye nemiphakathi.

Final Straw Solent (UK) - I-Final Straw Solent isiphenduke amandla ngokushesha okwandisa ukuqwashisa ngokungcoliswa kwepulasitiki nokuqeda amapulasitiki asetshenziswa kanye emphakathini wendawo ngokusebenzisa imikhankaso yawo yokuhlanza amabhishi nemikhankaso emazingeni aphansi. Lolu xhaso luzogxila ekukhiqizeni isidingo sabathengi soshintsho phakathi kwamabhizinisi, izimboni, izikole, kanye nokunika amandla amabhizinisi ukuthi asuke kumapulasitiki asetshenziswa kanye futhi afake umquba.

I-Hudson River Community Sailing (US) - Lesi sibonelelo sethula i-Sail Academy yesibili yabafundi besikole esiphakathi eNyakatho Manhattan, NYC, sakha uhlelo oluyimpumelelo lokuthuthukisa intsha lwe-Hudson River Community Sailing olugxile emfundweni yezemvelo kanye nekharikhulamu ye-STEM yabafundi abavela ezindaweni ezinganakekelwa kahle eLower Manhattan. Ukwengeza, lolu hlelo lunikeza ukwesekwa kwezemfundo ukusiza abafundi baphumelele njengoba bedlulela esikoleni esiphakeme nangale kwalokho.

Ukulondolozwa Kwasolwandle (US) – Ngalesi sibonelelo, iGlobal Ghost Gear Initiative ye-Ocean Conservancy izosusa cishe amakhilogremu angu-5,000 wezimpahla zokudoba ezingasebenzi eGulf of Maine; lokhu kungcola kuwuhlobo oluyingozi kakhulu lwemfucumfucu yezilwane zasolwandle. Izilinganiso ziphakamisa ukuthi kulahleka amathani angaphezu kuka-640,000 wezimpahla zokudoba minyaka yonke, okubalela okungenani u-10% wakho konke ukungcoliswa kwepulasitiki olwandle. Lolu xhaso luzophinde lugxile ekuhlonzeni nasekuxoxisaneni nezindlela zokuvimbela le nkinga.

Hamba eNewport (US) – Lolu xhaso luzokweseka Uhlelo lweSail Newport's Pell Elementary School Sailing Programme okuhlanganisa nabasebenzi, abafundisi bomkhumbi, izinsiza zokufundisa, nezinto zokuhamba zabafundi ukuya nokubuya esikoleni. Lolu hlelo, olufundise izingane ezingaphezu kuka-360 kusukela lwaqala ngo-2017, lwenza bonke abafundi bebanga lesine Ohlelweni Lwesikole Somphakathi SaseNewport ukuthi bafunde ukuhamba ngomkhumbi njengengxenye yosuku lwesikole oluvamile kuyilapho luhlanganisa izici ezivela ku-Next Generation Science Standards.

I-Ocean Foundation (US) – Lolu xhaso luzosekela uhlelo lwe-The Ocean Foundation lwe-Seagrass Grow ukuze lususe umkhondo womkhankaso we-Vestas 11th Hour Racing ka-2017-18 Volvo Ocean Race.

Izimfunda ze-Seagrass zinikeza izinzuzo ezibalulekile nezinhlobonhlobo ezihlanganisa ukuchithwa kwekhabhoni, ukuthuthukisa ukuvikeleka kwesiphepho, ukuthuthukisa ikhwalithi yamanzi, nokuvikela indawo ebalulekile yokuhlala yezilwane zasendle. I-11th Hour Racing izophinde isekele izinhlelo zokuxhumana ze-Ocean Foundation ukuze kwandiswe ulwazi nokuqwashisa mayelana nokutholakala nezinzuzo ze-blue carbon offset.

I-World Sailing Trust (UK) - I-World Sailing Trust iyinhlangano entsha esiza abantulayo esungulwe yinhlangano ephethe ezemidlalo, iWorld Sailing. I-Trust ikhuthaza ukubamba iqhaza kanye nokufinyelela kwezemidlalo, isekela abasubathi abasebasha, futhi ithuthukisa izinhlelo zokuvikela amanzi eplanethi yethu. Lolu xhaso luzoxhasa amaphrojekthi amabili okuqala, agxile ekuqeqesheni ukugcinwa kwemvelo kwamatilosi asemancane kanye nokunciphisa umthelela wemvelo wamakilabhu omkhumbi.

Uma ungathanda ukufunda okwengeziwe nganoma yibaphi abanikezwa isibonelelo, noma injongo yoMjaho Wamahora angu-11, sicela usithinte. I-11th Hour Racing ibamba okungenani ukubuyekezwa okubili kwezibonelelo ngonyaka, okulandelayo umnqamulajuqu wokulethwa umhlaka-1 Mashi 2019.
