-----------------------------------------

​


Contributions are per trip/week per crew member. They includes accommodation, food, fuel,
satellites communications and marina fees, and of course a share for maintenance of the boat.

​

From 2000€ to 3500€ depending on which leg you choose.
--------------------------------------
For offshore legs, you ideally will have spent at least few nights at sea, and have experienced some strong or heavy weather conditions for a significant time.


-----------------------------------------
For coastal legs even few experienced sailors will be fine. 

Total crew will be 4-6 people for efficient and fast sailing and various training opportunities.


-----------------------------------------

We practise celestial navigation on the offshore long trips.

​

We go into every aspect of managing a boat and her crew when offshore over a long duration.

​

We go deep into sailing strategies.


We do many foresail changes, reefing, and fly spinnakers and gennaker, in order to sail the boat as well as we can.

​

We prefer not to embark heavy smokers, we do not drink any alcohol at sea, and there is obviously no drugs at all on board :)
