Scheduling

​

Crew members will benefit by arriving three days before the start of every regatta to allow for training and to enjoy the island’s attractions.

​

On a race day, the boat departs for 5-6 hours of racing, returning in the afternoon. Ashore there are lively parties, concerts, and a wide choice of restaurants.

​

​Transportation

​

All costs of transportation to/from the dock, island tours, or special activities, meals and any other extras are the individual responsibility of each crew member.

​

Accommodations

​

On a first come, first serve basis, two cabins on VOILACTUS and 4 cabins in IVOIRE may be available. Once these are booked, crew members may need to find accommodation ashore. Accommodation on the boat is $80/day for the cabins on Ivoire and the larger cabin in VOILACTUS & $50/day for VOILACTUS' each rear double cabin. These are prices per cabin, crew members may share a cabin without paying extra. Persons staying on board will be charged for the cabin usage for each night of your stay, including training and shore days. Those who need or choose to find lodging ashore, have a wide range of properties available for rent, from luxurious hotels or villas, to private houses or apartments. AirBnB, VRBO, and Booking.com are useful web sites. We'll assist in doing car or lodging bookings at no extra cost.

 

Meals

​

We recommend that every crew member bring with them something for lunch (ideally a sandwich, fruit or something easy to grab while working hard). Dinners are the responsibility of each crew member.  A wide choice of restaurants is available at every regatta site.

​​

Participant Requirements

​

All crew members must be in good physical condition, capable of moving swiftly and efficiently around the boat, and able to operate the various boat equipment, which may require moderate strength and stamina. Due to the vessel’s potential distance from medical facilities—sometimes several hours away—it is vital that each crew member is in overall good health to ensure their own safety, as well as the effective and smooth operation of the boat.

​

Additionally, every crew member must sign a release of indemnity and agree in writing to strictly adhere to all safety protocols, instructions, and commands provided by the skipper. Compliance with these guidelines is essential for maintaining a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone on board.
