Transatlantic 2015
This is a great opportunity to cross the Atlantic ocean. Build your
sea miles and experience with unforgettable ocean sailing at its
best! Use this trip as a qualifying passage for your RYA Ocean
Yachtmaster exam, learn to use a sextant and gain experience of
extended cruising or just enjoy the adventure.
Emily Morgan has crossed the Atlantic many times and as an MCA
category zero yacht is fully equipped for a safe crossing. Crew will
expected to be involved fully with sailing the boat including watch
keeping, steering, sail changes, cooking and some general
maintenance.
We will start in Antigua at the historic Nelson’s Dockyard, a unique
piece of maritime history and set sail for Horta in the Azores. The
exact route will depend on prevailing weather conditions to ensure
the best sail across the Atlantic but this first leg will be
approximately 2600 nautical miles, taking 15 to 17 days.
We will stop in Horta for a few days, giving enough time to explore
this lovely island.
After our stopover in the Azores we head North East for the second
leg of the voyage, again taking weather conditions into account. It
is approx 1250 nautical miles and will take about 8 to 10 days.
The cost of the whole trip joining in Antigua on 7th May 2015 is
£2,400. We will consider bookings for individual legs at a
price of £1,700 for Leg 1 and £1,000 for leg 2.
We will only take single leg bookings if we are able to find a
crewmember able to complete the remainder of the voyage. This price
includes all food and soft drinks whilst at sea, YM Ocean Skipper
and YM Offshore 1st Mate, all running costs of the boat. It excludes
Personal Travel/Medical Insurance (a requirement for all crew),
Flights and Local taxes. |
