You spend most of the time aboard except at night when we berth in a marina or local harbour and go ashore after evening meal . The reason for this is that candidates can totally immerse themselves in the experience of sailing without distractions associated with going home each evening. We can also visit different ports for variety. In addition, working a cruising yacht is a full time affair and involves a whole range of activities which can only be exprienced by living aboard with your shipmates.
