S2. Ep 15 - On Sailing and Protecting the Sea with InMocean
Plastic pollution is a global challenge, but for sailors, it’s one we witness first-hand.
In this episode of the Clean Sailors Podcast, host Holly speaks with Nike Steiger, sailor and co-founder of IN MOCEAN, an organisation tackling plastic pollution through practical recycling solutions and community action.
We explore the story behind IN MOCEAN, what Nike has learnt about plastic and waste through her life at sea, and the simple ways we can all reduce our impact onboard.
And, of course, we talk sailing - from Nike’s own adventures and life afloat to the unique role sailors can play in protecting the places we love to explore.
A conversation about adventure, plastic, practical action and doing things differently.

S2. Ep 14 - Our Bilges, Boats and Cleaner Seas with Wave International
Bilge water, grey water, cleaning products, microfibres – the everyday impacts of our life at sea. As our industry evolves so do expectations around sustainability, stewardship and the impact of our life onboard. Today we are exploring a question every boat owner, captain and crew should be asking – what’s really entering our waterways from our vessels, and how can we do better?
In this conversation, host Holly speaks with Paul Gullet of Wave International to discuss what’s really coming off our boats, the innovations to reduce our impact and how we sailors, boaters and wider industries can be playing a role for a cleaner future.

S2. Ep 13 - Ocean Impact with The Ocean Race
Few events in sailing need an introduction quite like The Ocean Race.
First launched in 1973 as the Whitbread Round the World Race, it has evolved from a pioneering test of endurance and seamanship into one of the world's most iconic offshore sailing competitions. Today, The Ocean Race is not only pushing the limits of human performance, but also using its global platform to champion healthier oceans through science, education and advocacy.
In this episode, Holly sits down with Lucy Hunt, Ocean Impact Director at The Ocean Race. Lucy leads the race's sustainability and impact agenda, helping ensure that one of the world's most recognised sporting events creates a positive legacy long after the finish line.
Together, they explore how sailing can become a catalyst for environmental change, the responsibility of major sporting events in protecting our oceans, and why collaboration, education and storytelling are essential if we are to leave the marine environment healthier for future generations.
Whether you're a sailor, ocean advocate or simply passionate about the future of our planet, this conversation offers an inspiring insight into how sport can help drive meaningful change.
