What Would WWSA Do?

Justine Porter shares her tips for environmentally-friendly boat cards

As a liveaboard sailor I want to do as much as possible to care for our environment and decrease my consumerism, hopefully decreasing my footprint on our fragile planet! And I’m always looking for ways to save a dollar so it can be put towards sundowners and keep us cruising for longer.

I make my own boat cards. I use cardboard from wine casks or beer cartons and then use our boat stamp and just hand write our name, phone number and email.

It’s not as fancy as some of the brilliant cards I’ve collected but it’s certainly unique and often gets a giggle when people turn them over and see what they are made from! Once you’ve met me you’ll understand it’s not a coincidence and is a good fit for our personalities.
