Transatlantic Eastbound Sail Antigua to UK

After a busy winter season in the Caribbean, the Sail Racing Academy will be heading back to the UK from Antigua via the Azores.

This trip offers our crew members the opportunity to fulfil a life long dream to cross the Atlantic. The trip will also give you the opportunity to visit the beautiful Azores. From there, you can disembark, or you can stay with us to return our fleet to Hamble.

Though Sail Racing Academy is all for everyone enjoying themselves, safety remains our top priority. For peace of mind, we have spared no expense in ensuring that our boat is equipped to the highest level.

The ideal person will have some reasonable sailing experience already. Costs will be on a shared contribution basis and the boat will sail with a Yachtmaster Skipper and with safety being the biggest priority. If you're at all interested and would like to talk through details, we'd be happy to chat with you. This passage may be of interest to anyone who would like to take their Yachtmaster Ocean examination in the future.
