Sailing for Climate
BY
A day of regattas for biodiversity
Train with your crew on your sailboat. A skipper will help you master the boat. Then, take part in the inter-company regatta.
Spend the evening surrounded by your guests and other companies in a sporty and relaxed atmosphere.
The benefits from the event will contribute to planting a network of Corporate Forests, in collaboration with Natagriwal (planting), Ma Ferme (location), and La Bardane (monitoring and maintenance).
Support by
The Corporate Forests
By participating as an “Oak” or “Canopea” boat, you become a co-creator of the Corporate Forest network, unique spaces for biodiversity and well-being just a stone’s throw from Brussels. You contribute to concrete actions such as:
- Planting trees and hedges to enrich the ecosystem.
- Creating ponds and wetlands to support local wildlife.
- Providing access to the forest for team moments or to take part in tree-planting activities.

Most frequent questions and answers
Do I need any sailing experience?
No, you don’t need any experience to participate and to enjoy your sailing day. You will be accompanied by an experienced skipper who is used to sail with beginning crews.
Will I have the opportunity to steer the boat?
Yes, all crew members will have the opportunity to participate to the different sailing maneuvers, including steering and sail trimming.
Should I be afraid of sea sickness?
No. Sea sickness also hits sailing champions and it does not stop them to sail around the world. Seasickness can be prevented or limited by various means, such as wearing warm and comfortable clothes, staying outside to look at the horizon, eating and drinking (water) regularly, etc.
Do I need specific clothing?
No. We provide the safety gear such as life jackets. Just check out the weather forecast the day before and make sure to dress comfortably and to wear a raincoat and appropriate shoes (with white soles). Depending on the weather, we will also provide you with sailing pants, and we have some spare jackets for you.
What happens if the weather is too bad?
In general, there is no bad weather, but only bad equipment. However, should the weather really be too bad, we always foresee a second date.
My firm is not interested, but I would like to participate. Is it possible?
Yes. We arrange boats with mixed crews in order to allow any interested person to be part of this event. Individual or small group registrations are possible. You can register as an entire team with people from different organizations.
Must all crew members be legals?
No. We love rules but are not exclusive. It is also a great opportunity to invite clients or other non-legal colleagues.
I have my own boat, can I participate?
Of course! Personal boats are very welcome. It is also a nice opportunity for you to compete against other boats. However, in order to keep the competition fair, only sailing boats of at least 34 feet will be accepted. We will also ask you to sign a liability waiver as the boat and crew are in your hands.
