ORC Sailing Finland

We’re proud to announce that the Garmin ORC Doublehanded Europeans 2025 in Helsinki has earned the Platinum-Level Clean Regatta certification 〰️ the highest global standard for sustainable sailing events. 🌍⛵

From talking relentlessly about the state of our beloved Baltic Sea, to eliminating single-use plastics and serving local, sustainable food, to organizing a shoreline cleanup and teaming up with partners like DYNAMICNORD and Superyellow to award champions with practical and planet-friendly “trophies” — our team and volunteers showed how sailing with purpose can be brought to an ORC title event with resounding success.

Sailors for the Sea Clean Regattas is the world’s leading sustainability certification for on-the-water events. Since 2006, it’s reached 1.7 million sailors across 53 countries, and we’re proud to be part of that legacy.

This recognition isn’t just about one event. It’s a commitment to raising the bar for sustainability in competitive sailing and ORC - Offshore Racing Congress events here in the Baltics and beyond.
