Water-wise regattas

actions to deliver a greener regatta

Encourage ride-sharing and carpooling

Additionally, consider how clubs in close proximity to each other can share trailer-loading space and costs. This reduces emissions, saves money, and build community!

Standardize water-filling stations

Provide water-refill stations throughout the regatta venue for athletes and teams to refill their water bottles. Communicate to teams prior to the regatta about water-refill stations and reducing single-use plastics, to encourage athletes and spectators to bring reusable water bottles

Procure sustainable merchandise

Go the extra step and find sustainable vendors and products for regatta merchandise. Communicate this message to athletes and spectators and take pride in offering sustainable products. Encourage food vendors to use compostable and recyclable materials.

Reduce Invasive Species

Encourage boat-washing for all teams trailering to your regatta to minimize the risk of invasive species.
