wants 1 crew for Playing Around, Beneteau First 40.7, m.

From Gosport, United Kingdom to Gran Canaria, Canary Islands.

January 2020 to January 2020.

Only one last crew place available! - we are taking our First 40.7 down to Gran Canaria ready for the ARC and are inviting crew to experience some exciting ocean sailing. Playing Around is a fully equipped race ready offshore racing yacht which has taken part in each of the RORC offshore races this year, including the Fastnet, She is fast and secure in heavy seas. We are looking for reasonably experienced sailors for this passage. Biscay can be a little bouncy sometimes, so experience of sailing offshore is advisable. No problem if you don't feel hugely experienced, we can give you all the guidance and support you need. We plan to depart from Haslar Marina Gosport on 30th October and head West down the Channel before crossing the Bay of Biscay. Running down the coast of Portgual before our passage over to Gran Canaria. Planned arrival in the Canaries c. 12-14 November. This passage will give you the opportunity to experience all aspects of an extended ocean passage. Each of our crew are involved in running the boat, with watch keeping, sail trim, helming and everything it takes to keep the boat fast! There is every opportunity to take part in navigation and routing, with both electronic systems and our sextant for astro navigation. You will have more than enough miles on this passage for your RYA Ocean Yachtmaster qualification. Best to give me call and let's have a chat about the voyage. Look forward to hearing from you, Ken
