European Match Race TOur 2024

European Match Race

The Custodians Plastic Race moves to international shores with the European Match RaceTour.
During the clean-up days, we will actively engage in the clean-up of previously identified locations by means of the CESP application - The Custodians Earth Solution Platform. More information at the ‘Detailed Event Programme’.

Match Racing is one of the oldest and more exciting disciplines in the sport of sailing. The same discipline of sailing used by the sport’s oldest sporting trophy since 1851, the America’s Cup. It is one of the easiest types of sailing to understand with just two boats around a race course in a winner-take-all duel of tactics, strategy and teamwork.Teams compete in different boats at each stage of the European Match Race Tour, however the boats supplied at each event are identical. To keep the competition 100% fair and equal, teams rotate boats during the event.

To participate in the clean-up, sign up for the form and be part of The Custodians Plastic Race!

With the help of the CESP app, a database of georeferenced reports for mapping environmental pollution, the BioDesign Foundation is bringing together different segments of society in this race against time, launching the project The Custodians Plastic Race. Collaborations with the Navy, Coast Guard, Civil Protection, Guardia di Finanza, companies, associations, schools, universities, and volunteers have laid the foundation for understanding how each of us is committed to resolving the challenge of microplastic pollution, always with the motto All Together Now!

From 2022, The Custodians Plastic Race has landed in Italy, Spain, Germany, Macedonia, and Bulgaria. The goal is to carry out the first nationwide cleanup in Italy in 2025. A thorough cleaning of the seas and lands encourages a cultural shift towards respecting nature and the environments we live in everyday. Everyone's contribution is needed to change course, clean up the planet, and keep it clean: this the only option we have. There are no superheroes, only super teams.

The Custodians Plastic Race mainly took place alongside various sporting events: The Grand Final Genoa - Ocean Race 2023, Marina Militare Nastro Rosa Tour (Editions 2023, 2024), MiniTransat 2023, the European Kite Surf Formula Championship - Los Alcázares, Mar Menor 2024 (EUROSAF), European Athletics Championship 2024, European Match Race Tour 2024.
