Atlantic crossing from Antigua to the UK

Very popular activity. Places usually sell out 142 days before the start

After a busy winter season in the Caribbean, the Sail Racing Academy will be heading back to the UK from Antigua via the Azores.

This trip offers our crew members the opportunity to fulfil a life long dream to cross the Atlantic. The trip will also give you the opportunity to visit the beautiful Azores. From there, you can disembark, or you can stay with us to return our fleet to Hamble.

Though Sail Racing Academy is all for everyone enjoying themselves, safety remains our top priority. For peace of mind, we have spared no expense in ensuring that our boat is equipped to the highest level.

European Mile Builder Leg 6: Malta to Gibraltar

Agustin

October of 2023

Exceptional, complete, hard and demanding. A challenge that requires the capacity for suffering, the navigation is continuous without respites or stops, guard changes every 4 hours, warm bed. IT IS AN EXPERIENCE TO REPEAT after recovery
