We are a sail racing team and offshore sailing activists committed to sail for a cleaner Baltic Sea and to raise awareness of ocean conservation through our channels. By volunteering in sail race events we promote sustainable practices that reach hundreds of sailors around the Baltic Sea.

Decreasing eutrophication

The aim of preventing eutrophication is to reduce the load of suspended solids and nutrients, such as phosphorus and nitrogen, entering inland waters and the Baltic Sea, and to enhance the circular economy of nutrients.

Our actions in this theme are:

Commitment:
Maintain a vegetarian diet

Reducing hazardous substances

The aim of reducing harmful substances is to decrease and prevent harmful substances, such as toxic chemicals, plastics, and oils, from entering water, soil, and air.

Our actions in this theme are:

Commitment:
Use less new, never spill anything into our oceans. Never litter, instead pick up plastic and trash from beaches and shorelines.

Increasing biodiversity

The aim of increasing biodiversity is to halt biodiversity loss and safeguard the diversity of species and habitats by combating invasive alien species and protecting and restoring natural environments.

Our actions in this theme are:

Commitment:
We work to solve the harmful algae overgrowth through our work-life projects.

Promoting sustainable use of the seas

The aim of promoting the sustainable use of the seas is to ensure environmental sustainability in maritime transport, recreational use, and other marine industries.

Our actions in this theme are:

Commitment:
We protect what we love. We act responsibly on waters and use our channels to drive awareness of sustainable practices. We are committed to green boating guidelines by sailors for the sea and we have signed the pledge if a green boater.

Preventing littering

The aim of preventing littering is to minimise the amount of waste generated by properly sorting waste and removing litter that has already ended up in the environment.

Our actions in this theme are:

Commitment:
We sort waste and always bring back everything we take onboard or to the archipelago.

Increasing cooperation and inclusion

The aim of increasing cooperation and participation is to enhance water protection collaboration within and between organisations, increase knowledge of best practices, and integrate consideration of the Baltic Sea into the organisation’s regular operations.

Our actions in this theme are:

Commitment:
We work through ORC, The Finnish offshore Racing association and NOSF to promote best practices within our sport and to make sail racing events regulated under World Sailing Clean Regatta programs. We have run two certified Clean Regatta events reaching the highest platinum standard of event organization.
