Itinerary 2025

My thirteenth season of sail training with Regina Laska: Biscay, Bretagne, Portugal, Madeira, Azores

This season will hold a lot of tidal sail training, crossing the Bay of Biscay twice including an RYA Ocean Qualifying Leg and celestial navigation. We will again sail to the Atlantic Islands Madeira and Azores, which are so fantastic to sail to! The season ends with some relaxed legs in Galicia.

2025 will be similar to 2021, so take a look at the Video from 2021:
– Video about the small Atlantic circuit in English.
– Video about the small Atlantic circuit in German.

Whom you sail with is just as important as the leg itself, so please send an e-mail as personal as possible and I will try my best to offer you a leg that suits your expectations, experience and fellow crew members!

If you wish to join on a tidal sail training leg, please consider the corresponding theory course that prepares you for these thrilling waters in the best possible way!

If you are interested in an Ocean sailing leg, please do consider the RYA Yachtmaster Ocean theory course to benefit from your practical sail training using the sextant.

Due to limited place onboard Regina Laksa (I only take 4 guests on one leg), theory course participants get a better chance to join so they can benefit from both theory as well as practical training.
