Sea Change Wine Partners again for the Round the Island Race 2026 to Champion Cleaner Oceans

The Round the Island Race continues it’s partnership with Sea Change Wine, a brand dedicated to helping protect the world’s oceans through every bottle sold.

As one of the UK’s largest and most iconic sailing events, the Round the Island Race has always celebrated the sea and recognised the importance of protecting the marine environment. Our ongoing partnership with Sea Change Wine brings together two organisations united by a shared commitment to safeguarding our oceans for future generations.

Sea Change Wine was founded on the principle that enjoying great wine can also make a positive difference. Every bottle sold contributes directly to marine conservation projects around the world, supporting initiatives that restore coastal habitats, protect marine wildlife, remove plastic pollution and promote healthier seas.

In addition to funding ocean conservation, Sea Change Wine has made sustainability central to its business. The company has removed unnecessary plastic from its packaging, uses natural cork closures sourced from sustainably managed forests, lightweight bottles to reduce transport emissions, and labels made from recycled materials. These small but significant changes help reduce the environmental footprint of every bottle.

Through this partnership, Sea Change Wine will become the official wine partner of the Round the Island Race, offering participants and supporters the opportunity to enjoy award-winning wines while contributing to meaningful environmental action.

Justin Cooper, RTIR Marketing Officer said:

“The Round the Island Race is about celebrating our connection with the sea. Partnering with Sea Change Wine is a natural fit as they share our commitment to protecting the marine environment. Together, we hope to inspire our sailing community to support positive action for our oceans.”

Sea Change added:

“Every bottle of Sea Change Wine helps fund vital marine conservation projects. We are delighted to partner with an event that has such a strong connection to the sea and shares our belief that small actions, when taken together, can create lasting change.”

The partnership reflects a growing commitment within the sailing community to embrace sustainable practices and support businesses that prioritise environmental responsibility. By choosing Sea Change Wine throughout the event, participants and spectators will be helping to fund projects that protect the very waters that make the Round the Island Race possible.

Together, the Round the Island Race and Sea Change Wine are raising a glass to healthier oceans, cleaner coastlines and a more sustainable future.
