Leading the Way in Sustainability
Promoting Ocean-Friendly Practices
Sustainability is at the heart of World Sailing Day, promoting ocean-friendly practices and respect for the sea.
World Sailing Day highlights the need to reduce marine pollution and to protect our sea-life for future generations.
World Sailing Day’s activities around the world include:
educational activities
supporting and promoting the improvement of existing technologies and processes
the development and use of new cleaner alternatives
the recognition and promotion of existing and new sustainable initiatives
During World Sailing Day, people, companies, technologies and products are showcased and presented in a myriad of different ways to demonstrate the real and positive effects they can have.
Join us as to see what you can do to protect our oceans and waterways, and, or partner with us to promote your contribution towards sustainability in sailing.
From coastal clean-ups to green innovations, sailors can lead the way. World Sailing Day has for the period 2025-2026 selected 5 sustainability goals which it has selected and wishes to join championing alongside other organizations.
