The Sustainability Plan and Guidelines were developed by Yachting Malta with the assistance of 11th Hour Racing, an international organisation that works within the sailing community and maritime industries to advance solutions and practises that protect and restore the health of our seas.
The aim of this plan is to adopt different practices that lead towards a more sustainable and environmentally friendly yachting sector.
