After Cork Week finishes, we’ll be taking our boats back to Hamble and then over to Cowes for Cowes Week. There may be a couple of stopovers, decided en route, dependent on weather and conditions. This is a 360 NM trip from Cork to Hamble, just over half the distance of a Fastnet race. It is the perfect opportunity to practice your skills and gain more offshore experience. We do not anticipate this event being over-subscribed, so it should be reasonably comfortable on board and very hands-on. All our skippers are Yachtmasters and able to provide instruction during the journey. You do not have to join us for Cork Week or Cowes Week to participate in this mile builder, but if you are interested in a bit of racing, send us a message and we can give you more details.
An authentic mile build to experience some true open water passage making.
Our Mission is simple: Provide fun, safe and rewarding sailing opportunities at an affordable price. Not everyone can afford a racing yacht or has friends or family that can. This should not be a barrier to entry. We keep costs low by involving everyone in the process and showing them the reality of what it takes to sail and race offshore. Our goal is to get as many people as possible to participate and leave having had the experience of a lifetime. We believe in putting safety first and allowing everyone to experience offshore racing in a supportive environment. We’d like to finish top of the leader board but the individuals on board will always come first.
They offer a range of small group and authentic sailing experiences, from Caribbean cruising to Ocean racing, at a budget to suit most.
