Dan Bower wants 2 crew for Skyelark of London, Skye 51, 16m.

From Hiva Oa, French Polynesia to Tahiti, French Polynesia.

March 2017 to April 2017.

Leg 4: Marquesas, Tuamotus, Tahiti (830nm) This leg focuses much more on island hopping down through French Polynesia. We begin at Hiva Oa in the Marquesas and from there will spend a leisurely month cruising round the thousands of islands and atolls on offer. French Polynesia covers the largest sea area in the Pacific and these islands gave Darwin the ideas for his theory of how atolls form and his theory is still the one we use today. The Marquesas consist of 6 large and 6 small islands, of which half are uninhabited. Great hikes, waterfalls, spectacular views, horseriding and island tours are all on offer here, as well as perfect sailing conditions. World ARC also organise a particularly memorable evening of local dancing and singing. We will then head off for the Tuamotus, which stretch across a wide sea area positioned between the Marquesas and the Society Islands. Many of the atolls have pearl farms that grow black pearls which used to be the main source of income for the islanders, but now they rely on selling coconuts and fish! Unbroken circles of coral surrounding lagoons make for truly spectacular views. All sorts of marine life abound here including turtles, rays and exotic fish. With fringing reefs creating sheltered lagoons the crystal clear water is perfect for endless snorkelling. The final stop is at Papeete in Tahiti, the largest of the Society Islands. Here we meet up again with the WARC fleet and have a chance to enjoy the 'benefits' of civilization! Skyelark is fully coded to cat 0 regulations (unrestricted). This will be her second circumnavigation with her owners Dan and Em, both highly experienced ocean yachtmasters. £3500. Please email us for more information. http://skye51.com
