The RYA and BMF’s Green Blue project has teamed up with Hamble based motor yacht brokerage Inwards Limited to promote eco-sensitive boating. Each boat sold by the brokerage will include a special ‘eco-pack’.

Items include a spill kit to contain any minor fuel spillages, a bilge sock to soak up oil in the bilge and a range of environmentally sensitive cleaning products. Lex Bancroft, Development Officer at The Green Blue, said, “We hope that other brokers will follow Inwards’ example and help to advise clients about the many ways in which they can help make boating a greener sport.”
