For offshore legs, you ideally will have spent at least few nights at sea, and have experienced some strong or heavy weather conditions for a significant time. For coastal legs even few experienced sailors will be fine.
Total crew will be 6-8 people for efficient and fast sailing and various training opportunities.
We will do celestial navigation training and practise. We will go into every aspect of managing a boat and a crew when offshore over a long duration. We will do several foresail changes, reefing, and flying spinnakers.
Preferably no heavy smokers ; and of course no alcohol at sea, and no drugs at all.... we strongly encourage more female crew to join us!
Excellent Captain, Incredible Company
I stayed with Stephane for about a month in 2018. He welcomed me onto his boat and treated me like family. Working with him was a genuine pleasure, and his passion for sailing and the sea is contagious. I would highly recommend a trip with him and the Grynning to any person wishing to get out on the water.
