Velvet Adventure Sailing wants 2 crew for Velvet Lady, Oyster 55, 17m.

From Plymouth, United Kingdom to A Coruna, Spain.

September 2016 to October 2016.

Sailing across the Bay of Biscay is on the to do list for many yachtsmen. Why, because it has gained itself a fierce reputation for strong winds and big waves and so crossing it safely is a big achievement. This will be our 10th southbound crossing of the Bay of Biscay aboard Velvet Lady. Yes the weather can be rough, we choose carefully when to leave Plymouth, but what better way to experience it than on a good solid 55 foot Oyster

Velvet Adventure Sailing is currently based in United Kingdom
