Crew roles: We’re offering you the chance to crew Libertalia, a 19.50m racing monohull built for the Volvo Ocean Race. Supervised by four professional sailors (skipper Captain 200 Sail, second-in-command, navigator, number 1), the spirit of competition is essential to take part as a crew member in such an event, whatever your level. This is your chance to take on the fleet in ‘offshore’ mode and to experience some extraordinary moments together as a crew member. You’ll be on board for around 5 days. You will embark at Lorient La Base to sail to La Trinité-sur-Mer, where the Armen Race will start. The delivery trip gives the crew a chance to get to know each other, get to grips with the boat and assess each other’s skill levels. After the race, the return trip will be a delivery trip from La Trinité-sur-Mer to Lorient.
Money: voyage cost $2360
Travel to and from boat: crew pays
