Our Mission is simple: Provide fun, safe and rewarding sailing opportunities at an affordable price.
Not everyone can afford a racing yacht or has friends or family that can. This should not be a barrier to entry. We keep costs low by involving everyone in the process and showing them the reality of what it takes to sail and race offshore.
Our goal is to get as many people as possible to participate and leave having had the experience of a lifetime.
We believe in putting safety first and allowing everyone to experience offshore racing in a supportive environment. We’d like to finish top of the leader board but the individuals on board will always come first.
From our interactive website to advanced onboard routing instrumentation and software we are not a company that follows the crowd but one that sets new trends.
We are an organisaion with a new and fresh approach to sail racing that has also managed to achieve some impresive results.
We select skippers based not solely on their racing record but also on their ability to teach.
