WANDERER OCEAN EXPEDITIONS

Mesaj necitit de Solitaire »

Dragilor,

Wanderer Ocean Expeditions porneste o serie de expeditii trans-oceanice pentru cei atrasi de aventura, pentru skipperi care doresc sa faca mile oceanice de anvergura sau sa vada lumea de pe puntea unui velier.
Wanderer Ocean Expeditions ofera in 2012 urmatorul traseu in Pacificul de Sud.
Brosurile sunt in engleza dar sunteti cu totii oameni educati si nu cred ca va fi o problema. Selectia pentru expeditii se face pe baza de aplicatie, pe care o atasez aici. Aplicatia este necesara atat pentru a identifica echipaje cu nivele de experienta si profile compatibile cat si pentru cei care aplica, pentru a intelege mai bine motivele lor pentru a se inscrie la o asemenea provocare. Procesul de selectie se va desfasura in stagii/trepte diferite, de la itinerariu, la aplicatie si apoi la informatiile importante pentru cei care au fost selectionati.

Incepem cu Letter of Intent, pentru a prezenta ce Wanderer Ocean Expeditions este si ce nu este, urmat de itinerariu. Aplicatia este atasata.



LETTER OF INTENT

Perhaps it is best to start with what this organization is not about.

Wanderer Ocean Expeditions is neither a sailing school nor a navigation school. It is not vacation chartering either.
Wanderer Ocean Expeditions is solely a passage-making facilitator, focusing on the pure experience of making long offshore passages expedition-style for young skippers, cruisers or adventurers that plan to set out across oceans on their own. It provides a real environment in which the participants can test their knowledge, mental and physical endurance as well as covering the necessary miles for formal RYA Yachtmaster’s sea miles.
Naturally, there will be a lot to learn in terms of storm management, weather tactics, boat maintenance, safety, communications and navigation but the classroom is the ocean and the hands-on experience the learning channel. On completion of each passage the Captain will sign your logbook for the relevant sea miles.
All crew members are expected to participate in all activities on board, from cleaning to cooking, to navigating, sail changes, rotating between all traditional functions on board including skippering the boat for 24-hour periods. Those who yearn for the open ocean with all its hardships and blessings will identify with this concept. Certain legs are more pleasurable than others and then couples or less experienced sailors will have the option to join and enjoy a trade wind sailing passage, with tropical islands to explore, diving and snorkeling as well as tasting the local food and culture.
As crews may gather from several countries, it is recommended that you command at least a basic level of English.

The Captain will approve crew for each leg based on application. For any questions please do not hesitate to contact us by email at solitaire.expeditions@gmail.com

About the boat:

Wanderer is a Halvorsen Freya 39, a cutter-rigged Norwegian double ender built specifically for the Southern Ocean. Freya is in fact the only boat to have won the Sydney-Hobart race three times in a row. It is a very strong and a surprisingly fast boat, capable of reaching 200 miles per day.
Length: 12.25m overall
Beam: 3.6m
Draught: 1.8m
Displacement: 13 tons
Ballast: 6 tons internal
Keel shape:  full with cut away fore foot
Water tanks:  2 stainless steel, 194L/each
Fuel: aluminium, 290L
 

2012 PROGRAM:

Leg 1: AUCKLAND-RAIVAVAE-TAHITI
5 weeks, 2700 miles, 3700EUR pp

The first leg is not for the faint-hearted: skirting the Roaring Forties in search for strong westerlies, the seas and waves on this stretch of water will impress the saltiest of seadogs. It is a great training ground for storm management, weather tactics as well as physical and mental endurance. The participants should expect occasional winds in excess of 60 knots and typical Southern Ocean conditions. The reward is arriving in what is considered to be the most beautiful island in the world, Raivavae in the Austral Islands, before rounding the famous Venus Point at the entrance into the Tahiti pass.
Relevant ocean sailing experience is required for this segment.
Departure: May 1, Auckland
Arrival: June 7, Tahiti




Leg 2: TAHITI-MOOREA-HUAHINE-RAIATEA-BORA-BORA
2 weeks, 120 miles, 2200EUR pp

This one is for the sun lovers, beach lovers, or just lovers. Lazy sailing under the tropical sky, snorkeling, beaches, diving, exploring the islands, and enjoying the local culture with its rich song and dance festivals as well as Polynesian feasts on shore and on the boat. A dream for many around the world, the Society Islands represent the pinnacle of any South Pacific adventures, so regard this as a vacation rather than navigational training.
Departure: July 15, Tahiti
Arrival: July 30, Bora Bora



Leg 3: BORA-BORA-MOPELIA-SUVAROV-NIUE-TONGA
4 weeks, 1500 miles, 2960 pp

Trade wind sailing at its best, this leg will take you through the most romantic islands in the world, from Bora Bora through Tom Neal’s Island to Oneself, Suwarrov, to snake island Niue and finally to the magic Kingdom of Tonga. Reef navigation, currents, uncharted volcanic islands and reefs, the true blue of South Pacific sailing. Mopelia is considered to have the most difficult pass in French Polynesia, therefore this stop will only happen if the sea conditions are right. However, if we manage to get through the pass this will be a true castaway island experience, one to forever remember.
Departure: August 1, Bora Bora
Arrival: September 1, Neiafu


Leg 4: TONGA-FIJI-VANUATU
4 weeks, 1500 miles, 2960EUR pp

The South Pacific Convergence Zone, uncharted reefs, and strong trades make this a demanding leg. Great navigational care is required and this will be an opportunity to experience part of this rough triangle. (Samoa-Tonga-Fiji) It is also the entrance leg into Melanesia, a whole new world for most people, a world of dramatic volcanic islands with a unique culture left almost untouched since Captain Cook’s famous ship Resolution landed on Tanna.
Departure: September 5, Neiafu
Arrival: October 1, Port Vila



Leg 5: VANUATU-NEW CALEDONIA-NORFOLK-AUCKLAND
5 weeks, 1500 miles, 3700EUR pp

We’ll start this leg in Melanesia before returning once again to Polynesian New Caledonia. Some good sailing is expected on this route, lots of course changes and adjustments because we are now literally surrounded by reefs and atolls. After a good 3 weeks in the tropics, we will await a good weather window to head south to Norfolk, where we will stop weather permitting, and then on to New Zealand. This one leg might be the toughest you’ll ever experience, highly recommended for skippers that want to build heavy weather miles in some of the most challenging waters on the planet.
Departure: October 5, Port Vila
Arrival: November 20, Opua, Bay of Islands

Stimate Domnule Christian Tirtirau,
Am citit inca de la aparitie cartea d-voastra cu tenta autobiografica(generos distribuita gratuit) si am fost captivat de descrierea mirificelor peisaje din Pacificul de Sud.
Eu sunt medic la spitalul judetean Suceava si posed permis de navigatie pentru iahturi de agrement. Am o ambarcatiune necabinata, 4 scaune, motor 50hp outdoor, sistem propriu de guvernare(la cheie) , cu care navighez, sezonier, pe lacul Bicaz(47 km lungime), unde peisajul spre si dinspre Ceahlau este splendid.
Vara aceasta am trait o experienta pasionanta navigand cu un velier Beneteau 50 pe marea Egee,timp de 10 zile, vizitand insulele din Dodecanez, de la Marmaris la Bodrum si inapoi. Mi-am facut prieteni noi(eram 11 barbati!), am invatat cate ceva despre ridicat focul si randa,tertarolare,volta,ancorare, noduri si fixare parame,(spalat vase si puntea stiam de acasa!)
Considerati-ma un aventurier(in sensul bun al cuvantului) care iubeste si zborul cu motor(motodeltaplan sau avioane ultrausoare) sau amator de schi,iarna in Alpi.
Posed basic English citit,scris si vorbit.
Cu permisiunea d-voastra, solicit sa ma primiti pe crew's list impreuna cu un prieten pe traseul Tahiti-Bora-Bora. Cu consideratie, Genu Vexler, genu.vexler@yahoo.com

Am facut o modificare pentru echipajele din Romania. Taxa de inscriere de 500USD nu este necesara pentru cei care fac cerere din Romania. Am reincarcat formularul de inscriere.
Pentru a simplifica procesul, acestea sunt etapele:

1. Completarea formularului, care trebuie semnat si notarizat.
2. Interviu prin Skype.
2. 50% din suma se plateste 15 zile dupa aprobare iar 50% 90 de zile inainte de lansarea expeditiei.
3. Membrii echipajului primesc documente cu informatii despre expeditie, echipament si liste personale.

Informatii suplimentare se obtin de la solitaire.expeditions@gmail.com

In curand vom deschide si un website care va fi punctul principal de referinte si informatii.

Oameni rai si carcotasi!
Compara mere cu pere, sa se duca pe cruise ship atunci ca e mai ieftin! Sau in charter in Grecia/Turcia/Croatia.

Da, am ramas si eu putin socat la atacurile lor, dar adminul lor mi-a clarificat afirmatiile lor ca fiind plasate intentionat, nu se stie pentru ce interese.
Oricum, e ciudat, in general oamenii primesc noi initiative intr-un mod mai pozitiv, iar cei care se ocupa de asta stiu ca nu e nimic exagerat in postul meu.
Multumesc skipper pentru suport dar daca postul meu ofenseaza pe cineva aici, poti sa-l stergi. Negativitatea epuizeaza.
