Rubicon 3 Sailing wants 10 crew for Hummingbird, Clipper 60, m.
From Las Palmas, Canary Islands to Rodney Bay, Saint Lucia.
November 2024 to December 2024.
Sail across the Atlantic Ocean with Rubicon 3 as we participate in the Atlantic Rally for Cruisers (ARC). The event attracts around 100 yachts all congregating in the Canary Islands then setting sail en masse to the Caribbean, some 2000 miles to the west. For most crew, it’s their first ocean crossing and a unique chance to complete this bucket list adventure. Initial training in the Canaries prepares you for the voyage, then once you set sail you’ll be in a routing of navigation, weather watching, helming and trimming sails, punctuated by moments of sheer beauty, such as dolphins playing in the bow wave or a sunset filling the sky. You arrive in St Lucia around 17-18 days after setting off, as an ocean navigator and having had the adventure of a lifetime. This is an RYA Yachtmaster Ocean qualifying passage for those who sign on as a watch leader. Ready for the adventure of a lifetime with the offshore sailing experts?
