Our environmental policy — Reduce, reuse and recycle
- Most of our crew gets to work by bicycle or on foot.
- All metal is sorted and recycled.
- We buy in bulk when possible and refill smaller reused containers.
- We keep the use of paper products to a minimum by using cloth rags, cloth hand towels and ceramic cups.
- Paints are carefully cared for and used up.
- Our facility is well insulated for both heat and cold, sited to take advantage of natural light and solar gain, lighted with low energy full spectrum florescent bulbs.
- We settle out the solids between uses and reuse the solvent multiple times.
- We encourage our clients to sail more, motor less.
