One boat, a whole year of people.

People living with MS sail every leg, often with the people closest to them. What changes is how far you go.

How far would you go?

This is your time aboard. The boat itself stays in each city for a few weeks or more.

Hours A day sail in your city

A day, as we're planning it

09:00: Meet the crew on the dock, with family or friends if they're coming.
09:30: We go over the boat with you: getting aboard, where you'll sit, what you'll do.
10:00: Cast off. You take a real job: a line, the helm, the lookout.
12:30: Back at the dock for lunch ashore.
14:00: The afternoon crew casts off. A port stay runs two sails a day.

Most people will sail here, and the next step will be there when you want it.

Races Some evenings end with a race: short and informal, around the buoys with the local club. Sailors call it a beer can race.

Days A coastal passage, city to city

New York to Newport, about 140 miles, as we're planning it

Day 1: 07:00. Leave New York through Hell Gate, timed to the tide, and into Long Island Sound. Watches are shared across the crew.
13:00: Lunch underway, with the Connecticut shore off the port side.
18:00: Dinner underway. Tonight you cook, or you steer.
02:00: Your watch, out past the end of Long Island in the dark.
Day 2: Into Narragansett Bay and alongside in Newport by mid-morning. The next port stay begins.

One to four days, depending on the leg. A small crew, and the next step up from a day sail.

Races Some passages are races, like the 475-mile Annapolis to Newport Race.

Weeks An ocean crossing

The Canaries to the Caribbean, about 2,700 miles, as we're planning it

Before: You train with the crew you'll sail with, until you're ready. We leave when the weather window opens.
Day 1: Leave the Canaries and head southwest for the trade winds. Watches run around the clock, and you stand yours.
Day 10: Halfway, running downwind. The nearest land is days away in every direction.
At sea: We film the crossing for the documentary.
Day 19: Landfall in the Caribbean, and the winter season begins.

Two to four weeks, depending on the ocean.

Races Some crossings are races: a start gun, a finish line and the same rules for every boat.

Then the boat moves on.

Port to port, around the world, and we film along the way. Pick a season, or tap a port, to see where the boat goes.

This is the Atlantic circuit as we’re planning it: the ports and races we’re looking at, in the order the seasons allow. Which ones we sail, and in which year, depends on partners and weather. Distances on this page are in nautical miles.

Where the story goes

Out there.
And right here.

We're making a documentary series about the voyage, told by the people sailing it. It's for anyone living with MS, wherever they are, and for everyone who's never seen MS like this.
