#2 Terceira - UK or France (TbD) - 10 days - 1200 Nm (27 May-06 June)

In this mostly downwind voyage we will do our best to keep a good pace, fly spinnakers, our brand new reacher sail and maybe break a record (at least we will do our best).

before coming back in Siglufjordur, Iceland.

-----------------------------------------
#6 Siglufjordur - Iceland North Coast - Bergen - 2 week- 900 Nm (03-15 August)

​

Prices are per trip/week per crew member. They includes accommodation, food, fuel,
satellites communications and marina fees.

​

Prices depends on the trips chosen. Range is in between 2000€ and 3500€ per week/leg and per crewmember.

-----------------------------------------
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 spinnaker 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 :)
