E-Steward Resources
Collaborate with us!
All Bermuda Race entrants are encouraged to name an environmental steward as part of your race crew. We urge you to contact your skipper, discuss a sustainability plan and make sure the entry management system reflects your role as "e-steward" under optional crew positions. Thank you for helping in making the Newport Bermuda Race a Clean Regatta!

| Luke Babcock | ACE | wattandsea.com | We've deployed a Watt-and-Sea hydrogenator to keep vessel batteries topped up. Can mount on port or starboard side transom mounts, tilts up (like a dinghy outboard), and tethers to the lifelines (so it won't fall in while moving!). The drag at moderate speed aren't material, and whatever we lose we will gain by carrying less fuel. We've tested thoroughly and are confident it can keep up with all of our shipboard energy needs. | June 2, 2022 | |

| John Webber | EcoWatch | ecowatch.com | As I’m sure you’re aware, everyone needs to be wearing sunscreen. We all know it’s critical to protect us from the sun’s harmful UV rays that can cause sunburns, skin cancer and other types of skin damage. But if the chemicals in certain sunscreens are hurting marine ecosystems, the question also begs to be asked: How safe is this sunscreen for humans? That’s why my team at EcoWatch created this guide: Your Sunscreen Is Toxic: How to Buy Sunscreen That’s Safe for You & the Environment | May 24, 2022 | |
