Dear Shipmates

Introduction

Good morning.
We provide support for experiencing the life at sea, how to manage a big boat and her crew, performing all aspects of oceanic and offshore sailing as well as organizing remote territories explorations/expeditions.

Spring and Summer 2025 big voyage between Spain, azores, canarias, azores again and back to Spain. 10 legs, starting may 1st from Spain.

I have the opportunity to run two boats, a 38' for coastal sailing and basic offshore training, and a 55 footer for Ocean Sailing and exploration.

About the boats :
Comfortable and well equipped, these boats are from the 80's and do not have all the comfort of modern sailing boats but are very seaworthy and safe, by design.

Altough not recent, they are very well built sailing boats. We are constantly maintaining and refitting them professionally, with the best sails, spars and rigging.

Both boats are heated at sea, and of course at mooring, when needed.

About the boat, the plans, and current crew

comfortablevery safeshare experiencevisit remote placesface challenges

At the moment (2024–2025) the vessels will be sailing in the North Eastern Atlantic. After summer 2025, plans are to head south and make a great loop in non conventional waters (which mean we will NOT sail the Caribbean !!!!!). Cabo Verde, Brasil, Patagonia, as far as Polynesia are in sight.

Program for 2025 summer is to be published soon.

What is expected of the crew

clean & tidyeasy-goingfit & healthyorganisedrespectfulconfident swimmerrarely/unlikely seasickeager to learn & workpoliteLGBTIQA+ respectfulopen mindedsense of humorcan pay own expensesenjoy cookinggood with maintenancecan follow orderswill not bring a bicycle

My conception of sailing is : Autonomy, pleasure of being at sea, serious in sailing behavior.
Very much interested in Explorations process, true respect for nature and mankind, we are trying to enhance human skills and perceptions, in this age of technology where it is easy to simulate or manipulate everything ; we believe that human techniques must be at the heart of the art of sailing.
We are here for sharing tips and sometimes knowledge ;)
We are not a sailing school, we do not delivering any diploma of all kind. But we may help you to organize your skills into a coherent pattern, especially for ocean sailing.
We also organize RYA type passages, compliant with YM Offshore and YM Ocean requirements.
You are expected to be fully involved into every duties and activities onboard, accordingly to your abilities. We will of course support you in every aspects of life on a sailing boat at sea.
Looking forward to sailing with you !
Stephane
