[ Cancelled ] Old France to Croatia ref 8883
Bob McDowell wants 6 crew for TBD(Name will change when registered), Lagoon 40, 13m.
From Les Sable dOlonne, France to Sukosan, Croatia.
January 2018 to February 2018.
This is a chance to sail on a factory new Lagoon 450S. Sailing Bordeaux France to Sukosan Croatia leaving in January sometime between the 12th and the 20th and the trip is expected to take 3-4 weeks (handover date from Lagoon not confirmed yet) Wind Wizard (name will change at handover), Lagoon 450s, 14m. Sailing a new Lagoon 450s from Les Sables-d'Olonne to Sukosan Croatia. I have 3 experienced crew and I am looking for others who want to build miles, gain experience or just have an incredible adventure. We will be leaving Les Sables-d'Olonne on or about Jan 19 and plan on visiting 5-6 ports along the way. The trip will take 2-3 weeks and cover over 2500 nautical miles. We will be stopping along the way in some of the better known ports. I would like to have 6-8 people on board so looking for 3-5 more. Crew roles: All crew will be responsible for running the boat, cooking, cleaning and standing watch. I normally run leadership sailing courses and do professional skippers training so I am very good at leading crew who are not yet comfortable in their assigned roles. We will match your skills to your assigned tasks. Unless you are a YM (and even if you are) you will probably learn an incredible amount on this trip. The costs are; 500€ PP (per person) for fuel paid at beginning of trip. Appx 150-200€ PP for food paid as we shop. Appx 100€ PP for berthing costs, also paid at time of docking. This is based on 5-6 24 hour stops but last January trip the docking was only 70€ because of winter rates. Travel to and from boat: crew pays https://webapp.navionics.com/?lang=en#boating@6&key=_ihdHsyiaA http://www.cata-lagoon.com/lagoon_450_sportop_uk.php
