Green Boating & Clean Regattas

Our planet’s water sustains each one of us and provides endless hours of fun for a sport like ours. The Arizona Yacht Club is committed to practicing and educating its members and others on Green Boating and Clean Regatta best practices. We want to protect and secure clean water for future generations.

In 2019, we hosted the Buccaneer Nationals and obtained the Silver Level Certification for our efforts. We adhered to the best practices as published by Sailors for the Sea. Read the Sailors for the Sea interview with AYC Clean Regatta Organizer Debbra Heisler- Committed to the Cause.
