However, to day it is possible to charter a fully equipped race yacht and go racing. That's assuming you know all about the racing rules and how to man oeuvre one of these complex machines.


So how about becoming part of a crew that races in the Aegean Summer series.

The ASA along with Athens Sailing Academy is offering the opportunity for sailors to participate in these prestigious events. The yacht you will Crew on is a 55ft performance Ketch designed by the French naval architect Guy Ribadeau-Dumas. KORALIA3 was built in the French yard of Jeanneau 1990. The yacht has the pedigree to be competitive on the race-course and is able to highlight well any sailor who wishes to see themselves in the winner’s circle. The Aegean Rally is a well-covered media event, both on television and on the radio.

There will be 20 crewing  places available for each event.  These are events are for people who enjoy or wish to experience offshore yacht racing, as crew you will sail between 300 - 400 miles. You will play a full part in sailing the yacht, including navigation, keeping watch, and taking a turn in the galley. You will have ASA Instructors on hand to help you should you require advice.
