CHALLENGE OCEAN wants 4 crew for ALBATROS, CHALLENGE 67, 20m.

From Lorient, France to New York, United States.

May 2025 to May 2025.

Heading to New York, crossing the Atlantic under sail this spring aboard one of our Challenge 67s, a 21m crewed monohull. You’ll come on board as a crew member with a 100% active role in life on board and running the boat. Set course for America! Sailing across the Atlantic to New York Crossing the Atlantic Ocean remains a modern-day adventure. Although transatlantic crossings have become more democratic in recent years, they remain a real commitment, and for some, the challenge of a lifetime. Over and above sailing, crossing the Atlantic requires self-sacrifice. It’s a chance to let go of the pace of life on land, to reconnect with yourself and enjoy the simple pleasures of life. A real breath of fresh air! You will set sail from Lorient in Southern Brittany. First set course is Horta on the island of Faial in the Azores, the first leg of this East-West Atlantic crossing. Depending on the weather on the second leg, the length of the stopover can vary. Short if the window is good, slightly longer if a stand-by is necessary to reach New York in better conditions. And if the skipper doesn’t think it’s necessary, no pit stop! More details on https://www.challengeocean.com/en/navigation/heading-to-new-york-crossing-the-atlantic-under-sail/
