About the event
Friends, for all who have the wind in their hearts! We invite you to join the crew of yachtsmen and sail for pleasure and with practical benefit in the company of like-minded people. We go on sail and motor boats Alpha and Bravo (Sun Odyssey 439) along the route Azores - Gibraltar.
The Azores archipelago consists of 9 islands. It is located 1460 km from the shores of Europe, in the very center of the Atlantic. On our comfortable yacht we will go to Gibraltar, which is located between the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. Along the way, we will improve yacht management skills and share interesting experiences.
A skipper license is not required, but a minimum sailing experience (1-2 times) is needed.

Exit from the Azores The Azores belong to Portugal. They are divided into three groups: northwest (Corvo and Florish), central (San Jorge, Pico, Faial, Graciosa and Terceira) and east (San Miguel, Santa Maria and Formigash). The capital of the islands is Ponta Delgada, located on the island of San Miguel. Ocean lovers are attracted by the diverse flora and fauna. In the waters near the Azores there are 23 species of whales, rare jellyfish, several species of dolphins. Terceira Island is a UNESCO World Heritage Site thanks to sulfur caves with geysers.

Arrival in Gibraltar Gibraltar is a small state on the Iberian Peninsula, which is a self-governing colony of Great Britain. The territory of the state consists of a rock, which is called Gibraltar, and an isthmus that connects the rock with the peninsula. The Rock has a huge number of tunnels and caves, and this is a natural feature of Gibraltar. In addition, tailless macaques live here. Here they are in a natural habitat, and it happens to be very arrogant with tourists. The country also has a lot of interesting sights related to the Second World War.
