The Green Blue is the joint environment initiative of
the British Marine Federation and Royal Yachting Association. It is
a trailblazing programme working with individual boat users,
sailing clubs, training centres and marine businesses to raise
awareness and encourage environmental improvements with the aim of
minimising any impact of recreational boating activities on our
coastal and inland waters.
Come and see sailing legends Dee Caffari and Mike Golding as
they present prizes to the winners of our photography competition

to capture some unique moments that represent boating and the
environment under three categories, The Good, The Bad and The
Funny. Full details of how to enter can be found on our website or
