We offer a number of different offshore Mile Building trips for those who want to take their sailing to the next level or build miles towards qualifications. Mile builders are the best way to develop your skills in the most cost-effective way. Our European Mile Builders take you away from the coast of the UK and offer blue water sailing experiences. Those who join our trips tell us they leave feeling more confident to skipper longer more adventurous passages. We have a number of different legs to cater to a range of availabilities, our goal is to ensure everyone on board has an enjoyable time and leaves being a little more skilled. We ensure there is always a professional instructor onboard to answer questions and give guidance. *** Please be aware that the dates listed are subject to change. Our schedule is subject to change if bad weather forces us to delay departures, pull in to wait out a storm, we have to make any last-minute changes due to any unforeseen circumstances. This leg leaves A Coruña and takes the boat along the Portuguese coast to Gibraltar. There is a large chance we will be using Alcaidesa Marina in Spain upon arrival. It is about a 15min walk from the Gibraltar airport. Please ensure you have checked the proper entry requirements for both Gibraltar and Spain.
A lovely run south from A Coruña to Gibraltar, following the Portuguese coast with steady miles and plenty of options to duck in along the way. Finish it off with the classic approach to the Rock, which always feels like a proper milestone.
Join the boat and meet the crew. Day 1 is primarily dedicated to preparing the boat and conducting the safety briefing. Whenever possible, we aim to depart on the same day, subject to weather conditions and maintenance requirements
Departure Before departure, we kindly ask everyone to help with a general cleaning and tidying of the boat.
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.
