But what do we actually eat on days offshore? ⛵️🍜
When you are sailing double handed, when you’re tired, wet, on watch, and cooking below feels like an extreme sport 〰️ preparation is the key!
On Tegu Sailing we’ve built a 6-day sustainable offshore meal plan + shopping list for one sailor.
🥣 Breakfasts
🍜 Two warm meals a day
🥜 Watch snacks
💧 Hydration
🌊 Rough-weather food bag
Simple goal: energy, speed, and food you can actually cook at sea.
Think porridge with peanut butter, miso noodles, lentil couscous, tomato pasta, Thai curry — and yes, enough chocolate to keep morale alive.
But food offshore is not just about performance. It connects directly to the sea we sail on.
The Baltic Sea is under pressure — and eutrophication starts on land, from the choices we make in how we produce and eat food.
That’s why one of the most powerful individual actions is also the simplest:
👉 A more plant-based / vegetarian diet reduces nutrient runoff pressure on the sea.
Small choices on land. Real impact in the water.
As sailors, we don’t just race on the Baltic — we are part of its ecosystem.
That’s why we support initiatives like Sailors For The Sea and Baltic Sea Action Group, BSAG John Nurmisen Säätiö and the Baltic Sea Challenge, bringing responsibility into offshore sailing culture.
Because if we sail it, we should protect it. 🌊💙
