Another Southern Wind built boat we'll be able to see on the race course is the 29m Kiboko Dos, not only a strong performer on the race course, this award-winning sailing yacht was also the first to confirm being happy to take onboard this year's refill bottles, teaming up with us in cutting down on single use plastic to protect the seas we love to sail on. On top of the twenty bottles kindly provided by
Marine Hydraulic Solutions, they've ordered 26 additional ones, with proceeds going to
Asociación Ondine for environmental projects on the island. High Five Kiboko Dos!
Judging by the enthusiastic responses from all captains and owners upon hearing about our mission to take on the environmental impact at this year's Superyacht Cup, no doubt more captains will soon follow.

Eight million metric tons of plastic waste enters the ocean from the land each year. That's equivalent to about 1.5 million cars! (1) By joining the
Sailors of the Sea Clean Regattas Programme we can offer support and resources to help conserve and protect our seas.
