Sustainable Sailing: Go Green When You Cast Off

Written by Soundings journalist Dieter Loibner, this book takes a thorough look at the environmental impact of boating and explores how the sailing world is working to become greener. It covers innovations in fuels, boat design, batteries, solar power and wind and wave energy generation, and speaks to the engineers, scientists, designers and builders behind them.

The book examines not just the environmental effects of sailing and the wider boating industry, but the culture surrounding it too, looking at issues such as waste, fuel and plastics ending up in the ocean. Rather than simply cataloguing problems, it highlights organisations working to educate boaters and offers practical suggestions for reducing the impact of time spent on the water. Amazon UK

A thoughtful read for sailors and boat owners who want to better understand their environmental footprint and make more sustainable choices, both on board and off.
