Best Practices Achieved

17. Offer Vegetarian or Vegan Alternatives

We supply 2 water refill stations and a reverse osmosis water supply at the kitchen sink. We never have straws. We use Corelle plates and metal utensils for all meals. All purchasing is done with reusable bags and boxes. The awards are glass pint glasses and the perpetual trophy is a recycled trophy from 1929 Malone Fair. We advertise the regatta as a Clean Regatta, and have the Sailors for the Sea flag posted. We buy our main food items from the local Co-op store. We have our fleet members as part of the Green team. We use signage for all waste bins that has now become standard for the club all year. We put Compost buckets next to the trash bins in the clubhouse. Usually a 5 gallon compost bucket is full by the end of the weekend. We always clean the beach and boat parking area before and after our event. We offer all items a la carte for dinner so any dietary choices can be made, including vegan or gluten free.

1. Eliminate Single-Use Water Bottles and Provide Water Refill Stations
