ATHENS FLOTILLA 2023!
In 2023 we are super excited to be sailing in a new country under the Oceans of Hope flag with the support of MS Society of Greece. We will have a week of exploring the Saronic Gulf and its fantastic islands.
If you have had a taste of sailing on one of our day sailing or dinghy events, perhaps your next step will be a longer passage with us. This might include weekend sails or our popular flotilla events. Our adventurous challenges offer you a great opportunity to really build on your sailing skills with overnight stays on board and even sailing at night. These give participants so many more opportunities to share their MS experiences with others as well as forming an immediate support network to help them in the future.
We ask that sailors pay for their participation in these challenges. The cost is unique to each individual event and will be available on the application form for the challenge. We are delighted to announce that we are able to offer this amazing week for under £400!
What To Expect
| A more advanced challenge and a natural progression from the Day Sail Challenges.
It gives people who already have taste for sailing an opportunity to develop their skills and to spend more time on board a sailing boat. An adventurous challenge is also fantastic opportunity to meet and get to know others with MS. The challenges come in all shapes and sizes and usually involve a larger sailing boat than our Day Sails. An adventurous challenge is usually over a week, where participants get a chance to immerse themselves in a sailing experience by staying on board overnight.
