European Mile Builder Leg 6: Malta to Gibraltar
This is our longest leg and one of the more challenging, The voyage is 983NM and offers a great opportunity to experience the length of an ocean passage with the safety of being near land.
Yachts in terrible condition !
Be extremely wary of this so called 'academy'. SY Sao Jorge had significant repairs done to keel and mast (with plate added to mast !). Owner of this UK flagged vessel refused to share the (by UK Lawrequired) certificates with regards to these 'fixes'. In my perception, the owner is just some random English guy that bought worn down and damaged yachts, trying to make easy and quick money, at the expense and risk of skippers and paying passengers.
