Westabout Ltd wants 1 crew for Telefonica Black , Volvo 70 , m.

From Gibraltar, Gibraltar to Antigua, Antigua & Barbuda.

January 2020 to January 2020.

We have an amazing January sail deal for you. For only £1750 you can cross the Atlantic on a Volvo 70. What better way to stick to dry January and escape the “long month” by getting on a boat and heading to the sunshine? It will get warmer everyday! Join us in Alcaidesa Marina, Gibraltar. You can have access to the boat from the 10th of January. We will slip lines 12th January for a approx 4/5 day sail to Las Palmas. After a night or two in Las Palmas we will stock up on fresh fruit and head to Antigua with an arrival date approx 31st Jan. In Antigua we were be berthing at the slipway in Nelsons Dockyard and you are more than welcome to stay on the boat for a couple of days. Alternatively if you would like to experience this amazing offshore boat but done want to commit to the ocean crossing you can join us from Gibraltar to Las Palmas for £650. The Boat She is a stripped out racing boat with very few luxuries, so please expect high side hot bunking, freeze dried food – as the galley consists of a sink and 1 camping stove for boiling water and a very exciting gimbled heads! Onboard we like to be fully inclusive and give amateur sailors the chance to participate in all aspects of sailing the boat – we can assure you; you will not just be sitting on the rail. She is coded to Cat 0 so she has all the goodies for her to be safe at sea. From a Sat phone for calls and to download weather, email in case your people need to get hold of you, a watermaker and liferafts for up to 32 people.

What roles/experience are needed (Crew 1): does not matter

Crew roles: What is required of you - You don't have to have any sailing experience, but we do guarantee that after a trip like this, you'll be hooked! We can take guests from age 14 and above, but anyone under 18 will need to be accompanied by an adult. We are often offshore and not near immediate medical help, so you should have a reasonable degree of fitness, the ability to move around the boat safely and not have any medical conditions that require active treatment or are likely to be exacerbated during the expedition. You need to have a valid passport, any visas required to travel and adequate travel insurance for the duration of the trip. A can-do attitude and a stash of banter are a definite bonus!
