Clean Sailors

Creating Ocean Ambassadors all around the World

Clean Sailors is a crew of international sailors who love the sea, founded by Holly Manvell (also a Henri-Lloyd ambassador) in 2020.

Clean Sailors is a not-for-profit, whose mission is to set a new standard of cleaner sailing within the global sailing community. Its aim is to create an ambassador of each and every sailor around the world through the following:

  • Sharing stories, science, research, knowledge, ideas and sustainable sailing tips to the broader sailing community.

  • Selling ethically-sourced and sustainable Clean Sailors products to raise awareness of its project, sailing and ocean conservation.

  • Campaigning through lobbying, explaining, sharing and canvassing those that can help change happen.

In 2022, Clean Sailors launched Resail, an initiative supported by Henri-Lloyd to prolong the life of sailing materials and resources.

Henri-Lloyd also sponsors the Clean Sailors podcast, and has supported both Holly and Clean Sailors with clothing in the past too.

Clean Sailors is now operating in over 10 countries worldwide, and the journey is just beginning.

“Henri-Lloyd has such a strong legacy throughout their history for supporting adventure, sailing and a pioneering spirit, so we are excited and delighted to be joining forces with them to help power our mission for clean sailing and cleaner seas. We can’t wait to share what we’ve got planned and look forward to what our teams, ideas and philosophies combined can achieve.”
