AUT 1

Designed by Farr Yacht Design in the USA specifically for the 2014/15 Volvo Ocean Race (now The Ocean Race), the VO65 replaced its predecessor, which was five feet longer. Never before had the teams been so closely matched in the round-the-world race. This was made possible by the new one-design rule. Every VO65 is identical down to the smallest detail. Same hull, same rig, same sails, same chances.

    Great sailing, lovely crew

    “Perfect introduction to non-stop ocean sailing, and night watches. We were blessed with plenty of solar/celestial activity, but most of all a professional and friendly crew who were generous with their time and expertise, and very lovely and thoughtful on top.”

Questions people ask before booking a sailing trip

A sailor looking out from the foredeck
  • Can I book on my own?

    Yes, and most people do. Trips are sold by the berth, so you join a crew rather than needing to bring one. Cabins are shared with someone of the same sex unless you book a whole cabin.

  • Do I need sailing experience?

    It depends on the trip, and every listing says which level it is written for. Beginner trips assume you have never sailed; advanced trips assume you can stand a night watch without supervision.

  • What's included in the price?

    The berth, the skipper and crew, and the running of the boat. Flights, insurance and most meals ashore are not. Every trip page lists what is and is not included before you pay.

  • What happens if I need to cancel?

    The operator's cancellation terms are published on the trip page before you pay a deposit, so you can read them before you commit. They vary by operator and by how close to departure you cancel.

  • What if the weather is bad?

    The skipper decides the route, and changing it is normal seamanship rather than a problem. Trips are very rarely cancelled outright; when they are, the operator's terms say what happens.

  • Who are the operators?

    Independent charter businesses and skippers we either know personally or have been recommended by past customers. Their registered business details are available upon request. All trips are checked before they go live.
