SECOND CREW MEETING FOR THE CARIBBEAN CHALLENGE CRUISE 2026-2027
About this event
If you have a passion for sailing and a thirst for adventure; if you want to sail
“where the wind blows” without worrying about if the wind blows; if you want to
sail in the company of other club friends and our guests; if you missed our
extended cruise to Nova Scotia and Newfoundland in 2024 and 2026; if you want
to trade in a few crummy New England months for those famous warm easterly
trade winds and sandy beaches in the Leeward and Windward islands - while also
preserving your ski season; consider taking the next step and sail or charter
south of Bermuda outside of the hurricane season in the best sailing grounds of
the North Atlantic Ocean.
Don’t have a boat? Want to skip the long offshore
passages to get there? Need crew? Want to crew?
Then you will want to zoom in
on the details and discounts we can offer in this “crew meeting”
