Nantucket Race Week is proud to be certified by Sailors for the Sea as a Clean Regatta.    

Sailors for the Sea has established a set of standards for a Clean Regatta.   Nantucket's first Clean Regatta has three goals:
   1. Generate less waste throughout the event
   2. Reduce the amount of trash that ends up in the water or on the shore
   3. Reduce pollution in the harbor.

Check out the postcards that were given to all Nantucket Race Week skippers in their skipper's bags.   The postcards describe our Nantucket Race Week Clean Regatta actions and where to find water to refill reusable water bottles.

The event sponsors and organizers have worked together to adopt Sailors for the Sea's standards for a Clean Regatta, and developed a comprehensive program to achieve the environmental goals we have set.   Our Clean Regatta Goals and Achievements are described in the following documents:

Nantucket Race Week Silver Level Goals and Achievements  - for Opti Regatta, 420 Regatta and Laser Series

Nantucket Race Week Bronze Level Goals and Achievements - for One Design Series, IOD Series, Team Race, IOD Pro Am, Twelve Metre Regatta, Race to Nantucket, Sail Nantucket Regatta, Opera House Cup Regatta
