New Zealand – Fiji / 1200 miles of ocean, wind and real decisions

The New Zealand–Fiji crossing is one of the most fascinating and educational ocean routes that can be tackled in the Pacific. About 1200 miles of open ocean, where navigation is never taken for granted and every choice really counts.

It is a route that requires time, attention and respect for the weather: for this reason I ask for a minimum availability of 12 days, knowing well that in this area the ocean dictates the pace. The large depressions that rise from Antarctica alternate with more stable phases of high pressure: starting at the right time is an integral part of the experience, and is one of the key skills of this crossing.

It's not just about "getting from A to B", but about experiencing the ocean, reading it and crossing it in the right way.

A true offshore sailing experience

During ocean voyages , the crew is an active part of life on board.

From preparing the boat before departure, to the daily management of navigation, each member contributes according to their skills, experience and personal limits.

On-call shifts are organized to ensure safety and sustainability:

• about 4 hours in the day
• about 3 hours at night,
• with the possibility of adapting them according to the crew and conditions.

Extreme experience is not required, but curiosity, a spirit of adaptation and a desire to learn. Those who participate always return home with a new awareness of the sea... and of himself.
