Kraken Travel wants 4 crew for HYPR, Volvo 70, m.

From English Harbour, Antigua and Barbuda to Vigo, Spain.

March 2022 to April 2022.

Experience the thrill of sailing a high-performance ‘Volvo Open 70’ racing yacht HYPR across the Atlantic Ocean, from Antigua to Vigo (Spain), via the dramatic Azores. You will be given the opportunity to enhance your skills in every job onboard this iconic offshore racing machine. From navigation to helming, with practice in trimming, grinding and foredeck, you can get as stuck in as you like on this exhilarating trip. If you are an enthusiastic Yachtmaster candidate, you will have the opportunity to skipper under the watchful eye of a Yachtmaster Instructor as well as adding 3600nm to your logbook. Push your comfort zone for a truly genuine experience of life as an elite ocean racer, with basic race yacht accommodation and freeze-dried food: the trade-offs for an invigorating ride across the 3600nm.
