Dear Shipmates

Introduction

World circumnavigation starting with ARC+ in November 2025.

About the boat, the plans, and current crew

usually cleancomfortablevery safevessel is survey certified

We - Simon (67), and Gemma (56) - will be starting a 'trade winds' circumnavigation in November 2025 and are looking for like-minded couples to join us for one, or more, of the various passages of the trip.

Crew will be us and one couple for each passage ie. a total of four people. Passages are likely to be of one to four weeks duration. We'll be starting with the ARC+ (Las Palmas to Grenada via Cape Verdes) in November 2025, and working our way westwards thereafter.

All duties onboard will be shared, as will be the day-to-day costs (though not repairs, which we are responsible for).

Of course this is a fair way off but we'd like to give plenty of opportunity to anyone interested to get to know us and, of course, to make plans. We'll be sailing in the Med for the next two summers (2024, and 2025) so if you'd like a trial sail that can easily be arranged. If you think you might be interested do get in touch, we'd be delighted to hear from you!

What is expected of the crew

clean & tidyenthusiasticfriendlypositive outlookcan pay own expensesdon't mind cleaning

We are looking for a good-natured couple with sufficient sailing experience to be comfortable with both day and night watches. Sailing plans rarely run exactly to plan so a flexible attitute is also important!

The vessel is a 'damp' boat: a couple of beers or glasses of wine with the evening meal is the norm, though inevitably this is weather dependent.
