November 28, 2005 (Press Release) --
Ocean Navigator magazine’s School of Seamanship and the specialty travel service Sailing Ship Adventures are sponsoring a Navigation Seminar at Sea aboard the tall ship Royal Clipper on a transatlantic sailing from the Caribbean to the Mediterranean Sea, departing April 16, 2006. The seminar’s lead instructor, Captain John Carlisle, will teach celestial & electronic navigation, ocean track plotting & voyage planning, and satellite weather data acquisition. The seminar is intended for serious offshore sailors who are preparing themselves for their own ocean passages.
“The Royal Clipper is what makes this navigation seminar different”, according to Dexter Donham, President of Sailing Ship Adventures. “At 440 feet, she is the world’s largest full-rigged sailing ship, offering comfortable staterooms, fine dining, a library with fireplace, piano bar, spa, health club, and superb service. With five masts and 42 sails, Royal Clipper offers an authentic ocean-crossing sailing experience.” Unlike similar seminars at sea, students are encouraged to bring family members or companions not attending the seminar to enjoy the transatlantic sailing adventure with them.
Classes will be taught morning & afternoon while underway, with noon & evening sextant practice. Students will have frequent briefings with Royal Clipper’s Captain and officers, and will enjoy an open bridge policy.
The 16-night voyage from Bridgetown, Barbados to Malaga, Spain includes a stop at Punta Delgada in Portugal’s Azores Islands. Prices begin at $3,675 per passenger, double occupancy, for the voyage plus seminar, and just $2,425 for the voyage without the seminar. Passengers may extend the 16-night voyage to 21 nights, arriving in Civitavecchia (port of Rome), Italy on May 7th. Additional port calls will include Palma, Majorca and Mahon, Minorca, in Spain’s Balearic Islands.
The seminar and sailing may be booked through Sailing Ship Adventures. Further information is available on the Sailing Ship Adventures Web site.
Royal Clipper is just one of many tall ships, schooners and other sailing vessels available to vacationers through Sailing Ship Adventures, which is located in Wellesley, MA. Information on ships, schedules, pricing, and theme voyages, can be found at the company’s Web site, www.sailingshipadventures.com, or by calling 1-877-882-4395, toll free, Monday through Friday from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm Eastern Time.
