This will be our fourth year taking part in the ARC. Our aim is to be competitive while having fun and that everyone on board should be actively involved in all aspects of the boat and the excitement that taking on a life long dream. When not taking on a ocean crossing, we can usually be found taking part in races on either side of the Atlantic, or training up the next generation of racing legends.

We are currently looking for crew who wish to tick this particular box off their bucket list and who wish to take on the challenge of racing across an ocean. As joining a boat for 3-4 weeks is a huge commitment, we welcome informal, honest and open chats where we can ensure everyone's expectations are compatible and achievable with their aims. If you do fancy joining a 40foot yacht to take on this challenge with a crew of strangers who will end up as lifelong friends, then please don't hesitate to get in touch.

As an RYA Instructor Germaine enjoys passing on his experience to others and finding ways of sharing his passion for this sport with as many people as possible. This is what inspired him to create a not for profit organisation that gives people the opportunities that normally allude them. An excellent problem solver

    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
