wants 5 crew for Mahana, OCEANIS 40.1 First Line, m.

From Port La Rochelle, France to Lisbon (Doca de Alcântara Marina), Portugal.

April 2023 to December 2023.

Website: www.bluewatermiles.com/routes/transatlantic-leg1-2023/ First leg of a transatlantic voyage with an offshore sailing across the challenging Bay of Biscay from La Rochelle to Lisbon. Excellent mile building and training opportunity in tidal waters, very useful if you plan to take RYA examinations in the future. Anticipated route (~750 NM): La Rochelle (France) - La Coruña (Spain) - Baiona / Vigo (Spain) - Lisbon (Portugal). You should have at least 1 week of sea sailing experience to join the trip. You will be an active member of the crew and we will provide practical trainings on board (e.g. heavy weather sailing, use of spinnaker and a drogue, weather routing and many more). If you are an aspiring Skipper or Yachtmaster, it will be an excellent opportunity to gain bluewater miles, practice navigation, pilotage and COLREG so that you can be more confident and comfortable when taking a boat out to sea on your own. Skipper (Marcin Wojtyczka): RYA Yachtmaster Ocean commercially endorsed, RYA Yachtmaster Cruising Instructor. The contribution is fair and reasonable. Please contact for more details. Please find more details on my website: www.bluewatermiles.com/routes/transatlantic-leg1-2023/ If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. Looking forward to hearing from you.
