For this silver edition the Superyacht Cup has teamed up with the
Sailors for the Sea - Clean Regattas Programme. Main objective is cutting down on single use plastic bottles used onboard for racing. Changing habits is never easy, but with a bit of advance planning it can become easier, cheaper and will be a positive impact on the environment -protecting the waters we love to sail on. Mallorca-based
Marine Hydraulic Solutions, leading provider for a complete service of maintenance, refit, repair and installation for hydraulic systems, will proudly provide thirsty sailors with free re-usable bottles which can be rinsed, refilled and chilled again. There will be a tent on-site from where
MHS will distribute 20 bottles to each yacht
and take care of the 18 litre refill containers, deposits and returns.
MHS offers a complete service for maintenance and installation of all hydraulic systems found on board and this year's entry list is teeming with yachts that MHS has worked on previously, for example, the 26m carbon rigged racer Tulip or the new, larger and faster 39m Atalante, designed by
Hoek Design Naval Architects and built by
Claasen.
