Solent to Stockholm this July

This is a rare opportunity to experience sailing a Pogo 12.50 performance cruiser this Summer from Lymington, UK to Stockholm, Sweden. The trip will be a combination of marina hopping, with a possibility of overnight passages and a few rest and recover days on shore, and can take 8 to 14 days beginning in mid-July. We will sail either through the Kiel canal or through Kattegat depending on the weather. In the latter case the passage through the German Bight will be done overnight.

We are a crew of 2, looking for at least 2 more experienced crew. Experience on performance sailing boats is a bonus.

There will be a longer stopover in Stockholm before the next leg of the trip around Scandinavia, so stay tuned!

Some useful facts:
- non-smoking
- crew to bring their offshore clothing, personal safety equipment and passports with all the required visas
- agreed in advance expenses on board are covered by the owner, example: groceries
- getting to and from the boat is paid by the crew unless the crew is highly experienced - commercially endorsed YM or have lots of offshore racing miles, in which case you need to discuss with me in advance 1) your expenses and 2) if you actually want to work and get paid.
