Growing an environmentally focused culture within one design fleets
The Clean Class initiative recognizes entire classes of boats whose members are committed to protecting our oceans and waterways. By relying on the Clean Regattas framework and utilizing class structure and internal communications, Clean Classes move beyond individual event-level decision making to incorporating sustainability efforts into regular class operations.
Becoming a Clean Class creates consistent expectations for all participants and provides resources for organizers and class leadership when addressing sustainability challenges.
How to Get Involved
Clean Class certification is an annual process and is based on participation in the Clean Regattas program. Success will look different for every class, and we look forward to working with you to determine the best course of action for your class.
