To make it easier for you to find the courses and dates you require, we have now added our Current Course Availability page detailing current courses that are on our schedule and available dates when any course can be scheduled for you. Availability is always subject to bookings received.

Leeward Island mile building is about visiting Antigua’s neighbours such as Nevis & Kitts, Eustatia, Saba, Barbuda, St. Barth’s and Sint Maarten. Of course, not all of these can be visited in the 5 days cruise duration but, wind permitting, we will do our best to take in as many as possible.
Training is an essential element in sailing. To set sail with limited knowledge is both foolhardy and dangerous, to oneself and others. Experience is equally essential but that cannot be taught. It has to be gained. The only way to do this is to go sailing!
Not only is experience essential in the making of a proficient sailor, there are also the minimum mileage requirements of the RYA/MCA Yachtmaster Coastal & Yachtmaster Offshore Certificates of Competence.
These are 800 & 2,500 miles logged respectively. In each case 50% of the miles can be in non tidal waters and 50% in tidal waters. We offer Tidal Mile Building in The Grenadines
Passages are available in the Caribbean under the experienced supervision of one of our RYA Instructors or professional race skippers, or trans Atlantic as crew on one of Race Charter Partners yachts. Every opportunity is given to get involved in every aspect of the passage including planning, provisioning, night sailing, watch keeping and skippering. Not only are valuable miles logged, but also the experience of our skippers is imparted willingly and enthusiastically, as they guide you through the passage. You will enjoy some fantastic sailing wherever you sail!
We offer both Non Tidal & Tidal Mile Building. See here for our Cruising & Mile Building opportunities.
Please Note: Non tidal miles are logged ABOVE 13 degrees 10 minutes north.
