PBO Green Award for Greenline 33
16.8. 2010 |
 |
| Practical Boat Owner is Britain’s biggest-selling yachting magazine, with readers worldwide. Known as the ‘boatowner’s bible’, it’s full of hands-on practical advice for sailors and powerboaters.
PBO's Green Awards recognise marine businesses that have taken steps to reduce the environmental impact of leisure boating and make the industry more sustainable.
The winners are named within 4 categories - Product, Marine Services, Boat and Campaign. The Greenline 33 won the title of the Green Boat of the Year due to the diesel-electric hybrid drive and solar panel power plant for the option of silent solar sailing.
Practical Boat Owner’s editor Sarah Norbury comments: “Practical Boat Owner magazine’s Green Awards are a showcase for the innovative work being done by boating companies to reduce their impact on the environment. Henri-Lloyd’s Blue Eco clothing and the Greenline hybrid-powered motor yacht are proof that greener boating can be done in style. The Waveney River Centre show us that small changes in a workplace can add up to big results, and Pangaea Explorations are inspirational in their efforts to expose the plastic waste that’s collecting on the oceans. Congratulations to all of them.”
