SVG Sailing Week Juniors Regatta

We promote sailing. Sailing lessons, careers in the sailing industry. We sell cotton tote bags and sun protection rash guards to promote and raise funds for sailing.

We had vegetable kebabs done on the grill and hummus for our vegetarian sailor.

We hand painted all the signs on discarded pieces of wood, as well as directly painting on an old barrel to collect any unavoidable single-use plastic bottles that a random visitor may have brought to the event

We share our efforts on our Instagram and Facebook pages. Our sailors, parents and other participants promote it on their social media too. A local television news channel, local radio station and the local newspapers covered the event taking special note of our environmental efforts.

Reusable bamboo plates and cups, as well as a few other reusable hard plastic plates and cups were used and enjoyed by all attending. We had the macaroni pie with our hands, as we didn't want to use single use plastic forks. Hoping to have stainless steel utensils for a future event.

Preparing our own homemade sorrel, we avoided using juice boxes with plastic straws

Water refill stations only. No single use plastic bottles provided. We filled reused gallon bottles at a mountain spring to fill the coolers. We purchased an additional large cooler to have multiple water stations.
