Crew roles: We propose you to be part of the crew of a Volvo 60, 19.50m racing monohull to enter the RORC Transatlantic Race. Supervised by four professional sailors (skipper Captain 200 Sailing, navigator, number one and tactician), the spirit of competition is essential. Getting involved as a teammate in such an event, whatever your level, is not trivial. Libertalia is an efficient and extreme racing sailboat. It is a demanding and powerful unit, a Formula 1 of the seas with very spartan comfort. The duration of boarding is about 20 days. You will embark in Lanzarote or Lorient La Base for those who wish to sail Libertalia from Brittany to the Canary islands from where the RORC Transatlantic Race will start. The training days and / or the delivering allow the team members to train, understand the boat, to get to know each other and to assess the levels of each one. On board, navigation during the race is punctuated by the watchings: up, down and “stand by”.

Money: voyage cost $8250

Travel to and from boat: crew pays
