Overview

Not a delivery. A working passage.

Many mile-building trips are deliveries with paying passengers. Ours are not. You run watches, you plan the legs, you take the boat in and out, and you are debriefed every day by a Yachtmaster Instructor.

Crews are capped at eight. Everyone stands watch as mate and as skipper, and everyone leaves with a signed record of miles, nights and days at sea.

Programme

How a passage unfolds.

Day 1

Days 5–7
