What we’re about
Avid Sailors meet up to pursue their sailing dream!
Some of us will be captains, racers and world navigators, others will join to take a chance at sailing and pick up first skills. Others yet, know that in their life time they will own a sailboat and want to live first hand what ownership is all about before committing to it.
Avid Sailors self-organize in small agile teams assisted by the right apps to share knowledge and resources. We pair up to live up to our dreams affordably.
All Welcome!
