TRAINING. We will personally work with your crew to refresh their skills. Everyone who owns or sails a boat should possess a thorough knowledge of safety, navigation, seamanship, perhaps even racing technique. We will come aboard your boat to help prepare you and your crew in any of these vital areas.

CUSTOM CAPTAIN AND CREW SEARCH. All captains and crew members are not created equal. Some are born racers. Others are cruisers. And it is safe to say that some captains have decidedly better qualifications than others. To ensure the proper match-up of crew and client, we review hun- eds of resumes and personally interview candidates. We will introduce you to prospective captains and crew to make sure the chemistry is right.

RACE PREPERATION. When you spend thousands of dollars on a major ocean race, you expect things to go smoothly. We do all of the legwork to make sure this happens.
