This year we are taking part in the Green Blue University Sustainability Challenge to stimulate new attitudes as to how our club operates. The Green Blue is an environmental programme from the RYA and British Marine, created to promote the sustainable use of coastal and inland waters by recreational boating. Our aim is to develop environmental best practices into all aspects of our sailing and help demonstrate this to the wider community, so that all sailing clubs can aspire to a more sustainable future. We really believe this is important as there are so many things we can do, no matter how small, to make a difference to the environment and there is always room to improve operations to become more sustainable.
