As Clean Sailors ‘clean’ has meant challenging ourselves and the sailing and marine industry on becoming more environmentally aware and sound.

For this podcast, we are looking at ‘clean’ from another perspective...

Food at sea is very much fuel and certainly morale - hot, filling, long-burn energy loaded and as quick as possible to cook. When racing, well, let’s talk freeze-dried bags and a kettle of hot water!

But how can we become more nutritious at sea, and how can we satisfy all the above, without relying on bowls of pasta, tinned beans and in the extreme cases the Pot Noodle…?

Tune in to hear sailor, nutritionist and coach, Sarah Powell on clean cooking and eating on a boat.

Now, The Turner Twins may need little introduction. With various adventures and accolades; land, sea and sky, they’ve tried, tested, endured and pushed both themselves and resources to the maximum.

Two years ago they set out to sail to the most remote part of the Atlantic – on a second hand boat, with an electric engine, testing hydrogen cells, new antifouling technology AND whilst supporting macroplastic research as they went, on an emission-free yacht.

So how did all this new technology fare underway?

Let’s hear more from these professional adventurers, Ross and Hugo.

As we know, sails are strong and durable, built to withstand some of Earth’s toughest environments; UV light, saltwater and wind.

Made from complex synthetic materials, sails aren’t formally recycled anywhere in the world with over 97% of them heading to landfill or incineration.

But what if we used these huge sheets of hardy textiles for good?

What if we used spent sails to help shelter refugees, the homeless and those displaced by politics and natural disasters?

In this episode we are joined by Angela Abshier, founder of Sail to Shelter, achieving just that.

A worthy listen, I'm sure you will agree.

And, if you've an old sail remember to head to our ReSail by Clean Sailors platform to find your closest drop-off. Old sails can be made into new things 👍
