The world’s top athletes in high-speed, cutting-edge sailboat racing come together in SailGP, the pinnacle racing league for high-speed sailing.
Here, the SailGP boats, known as F50s, are some of the most technologically advanced sailboats in the world. They are capable of up to 60 miles per hour and fly above the water on hydrofoils. The boats are 50 feet long and crewed by five sailors, including a helmsman, wing trimmer, grinders, and flight controller.
But SailGP is not just about racing. The league is committed to promoting sustainability and reducing its environmental impact. The F50 boats are powered entirely by renewable energy, and the league works to eliminate single-use plastics at its events.
Recently, SailGP Sydney partnered with WALLOP WATER AUSTRALIA to provide hydration stations that reflected the SailGP brand and commitment to sustainability. The WALLOP WATER TRAILER BAR and the WALLOP WATER EVENTA TRIO were strategically placed throughout the event to provide free, chilled, and filtered water to the event crew, teams, suppliers, volunteers, and patrons.
Their innovative approach to monitoring water consumption sets WALLOP WATER AUSTRALIA’s hydration stations apart. Each station was remotely monitored to provide live data on water consumption at each zone. This allowed the event organizers to track water usage in real time and measure the daily reduction in single-use plastic drink bottle waste.
By providing an eco-friendly solution for hydration, WALLOP WATER AUSTRALIA assisted SailGP in doing its part to contribute to a sustainable future. The event organizers could not have been happier with the results. The hydration stations were a welcome addition to the SailGP Sydney event and set a new standard for sustainability in event hydration.
As an event organizer, you can take a page from SailGP’s book and commit to sustainability. By partnering with eco-friendly companies like WALLOP WATER, you can reduce your environmental impact and contribute to a sustainable future.
