We are currently in Antigua and have free spaces available until beginning
of March.
Our plan is to set off in the second week of February and sail to
the British Virgin Islands, visiting other islands on the way.
The whole
March is already booked with crew sailing from British Virgin Islands to
Turks and Caicos so unfortunately no free spaces in March.
There will be another opportunity to join Black Arrow at the beginning of
April, we will be at this time in Turks and Caicos Islands.
This will be an exciting leg as we will be crossing the Atlantic!
Here is an
itinerary for this trip:
- Leaving Turks and Caicos (island Providenciales) in the first or second
week of April
-Passage to Bermuda (750 miles , 6-7 days depending on weather), 2-3 days
stop
- Passage to Azores Faial Island (1800 miles 18-21 days depending on
weather) 3-4 days stop
-Passage to Europe with possible stop in northern Spain, La Coruna (960
miles, 8-9 days) 1-2 days stop
-Passage to England, Lymington, with possible stop in northern France ( 550
miles)
The crew members will be asked to contribute to the costs (£50 British
pounds per day). The contributions allows us to continue around the world
journey and covers costs of food, fuel, water, mooring fees, clearance fees,
maintenance of the boat (servicing of the equipment).

what you are looking for from the sailing, a training program will be draw
up and there will be regular reviews and updates as the trip progresses, to
