[ active ] World ARC 2026 Cocos Keeling – Mauritius Cocos Keeling to Mauritius ref 15841

Sailing Round the World wants 4 crew for S/Y Celeste of Solent, Farr65r, m.

From Cocos Keeling, Cocos Keeling to Mauritius, Mauritius.

October 2026 to October 2026.

The adventure begins in Cocos Keeling. We gather on board on the 4th of October, familiarize ourselves with Celeste and get to know each other. There will be time to explore Cocos Keeling and participate in social activities with the crew of the other boats participating in the World ARC. We will prepare the boat, do the provisioning for the passage and have the thorough safety briefing before we leave for the start of the rally leg October 6. We will leave the atoll’s lagoons behind and head into open seas. We quickly settle into our sailing routines, and the watch shifts begin. You will be on watch for three hours and off watch for six hours. The responsible watch team handles steering, trimming, and navigation. As a crew member on board Celeste of Solent, you become part of the team and are involved in everything from steering and navigating to cooking and taking care of the boat. The Indian Ocean is known for its steady trade winds, making for smooth and exhilarating sailing.

Crew roles: As a crew member on board Celeste of Solent, you become part of the team and are involved in everything from steering and navigating to cooking and cleaning. We sail in watch teams where you are on watch for three hours and off watch for six hours. You will develop as a sailor and learn off-shore sailing, navigation and route planning. We do not require prior experience from off-shore sailing, though experience from sailing is preferable. Usually the crew have different level of knowledge and experience and we mix the watch team accordingly. Our skipper and first mate are always at hand to guide and help. We are a total 12-14 crew members on board, including permanent crew. There are no private cabins on Celeste. We sail in watch teams. Under way, it is most comfortable to sleep in the aft because the boat moves the least there. Therefore, we alternate between the berths in the aft when we sail in watch teams. Cost of food is not included in price and is shared among the crew. As a crew member, you’ll participate according to your ability in all activities on board. https://sailingroundtheworld.com/sail-from-cocos-keeling-to-mauritius/
