We post our Notice of Race, Sailing Instructions and Scoring online.

11. Ensure Proper Waste Bin Placement and Signage
We have compost bins, recycle bins, and trash bins with reusable signage. We are very careful to make sure that people know what is compostable and recyclable.
10. Organize a Green Team
We have a green team that ensures this regatta stays green and also organizes a street cleanup (through the AZ Dept of Transportation) once a year.

We had our logo printed on reusable fabric bags that we used for our skippers bags and any time we needed a bag.
