Offshore sailing — crewing on a Fastnet Race, coastal delivery, or offshore passage — demands watchkeeping, heavy-weather sailing, and the ability to function on minimal sleep. This is not a day sail. 55% of offshore crew are over 50, drawn by the combination of seamanship, teamwork, and the deep-water experience.
