What to Expect

​

Join an all female crew as we take part in regattas across the Caribbean, choose your destination from Grenada, St Maarten, BVI Islands, St Barths or Antigua. Moonflower 3 will race with six crew members plus Skipper Chloe Need onboard. No prior sailing experience is required to join although seasoned sailors are welcome to join for a new experience and develop their skills. Your skipper will teach you all that is needed to be a competent crew member from teaching the basics of sailing to advancing skills of helming, sail trim and race tactics. This is an active trip and crew will be involved in all aspects of ´boat life` from assisting with boat docking and meal preparation to of course, being an active crew whilst sailing, all to ensure a close knit team for optimal performance on the race course. Although Moonflower 3 is designed to be a competitive yacht and consistently pushes for a high result, the number one priority onboard is always safety.
