CLEAN REGATTA
Sailors for the Sea Clean Regattas ProgramSailors for the Sea
We encourage you to strive for higher environmental standards while participating in a Clean Regatta and to work to protect and restore our waters.

 

Sailors can do their part at home too by Reducing Greenhouse Gases - Some simple ways to reduce energy use are: Use low wattage or energy efficient lightbulbs; Install energy efficient heating and cooling system; Stop up air leaks in windows and doors; Use solar, wind or other alternative sources of energy. 

 

During the regatta let WasteStrategies help dispose of your boat's waste correctly by bringing your trash bag to the tent party, if recycling is not readily available at your dock
