Winners - National Australian Sailing Awards
Uniquely focusing on sustainability has led Lillian and her team, with your support, to achieve the ORCV's recognition as the Australian Sailing National Winner for Sustainability.
The team have focused on educating others about the impact we have on marine life and the beautiful destinations we race to, including the Handfish in the Derwent, PFAS concerns affecting King Island penguins, the Port Phillip dolphins, and—who could forget—the Apollo Bay nudibranchs.
In addition, there have been citizen science water sampling as we head home from races, programs about changing practices, sorting and recycling onboard and what we can make from recycling sails and ropes. It's a social bunch that comes together at our destinations to walk the beaches, picking up washed-up debris.
For those who love the ocean, this award is a testament to the team's commitment and a nod to your support. Thank you.
