  Descripción

  We are an intentional international sailing collective and charity working toward a cleaner, fairer ocean. Our ship—a 50m traditionally rigged steel sailing vessel—is newly joining our organisation and currently undergoing preparation for upcoming missions in zero-carbon cargo transport, marine research, plastic cleanup, and humanitarian relief in remote coastal communities.
  We welcome Workawayers who are excited to experience life at sea, learn hands-on skills, and join a friendly, multicultural crew. Whether in port or under sail, the ship is a vibrant learning environment where everyone contributes and everyone teaches something.
  During winter 2025/26 the ship will stopover in Ireland and other North Atlantic ports and later in the Canary Islands for shakedown and training phases before departing on longer international global voyages.

  Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje

  Life on a traditionally rigged ship offers a rare chance to step into a world of sail training, ocean awareness, and global community living.
  Workawayers can learn:
  Traditional sailing techniques used before the age of engines
  Basic navigation & chart work
  Knots, ropework, and rigging fundamentals
  Watch-keeping routines
  Cooking in a ship galley
  Safety at sea
  Ocean conservation practices
  Principles of zero-emission shipping
  How humanitarian missions at sea are planned and supported
  We host 15–20 volunteers from all over the world, so there is constant cultural exchange—languages, music, recipes, stories, and skills. Crew members often host informal workshops, from knot-tying evenings to astronomy for sailors, navigation basics, cooking, photography, and more.
  
  As hosts, we also love learning from YOU— new dishes, different cultural perspectives, sustainability ideas, and practical skills. The ship is a place where everyone teaches and everyone learns.

  Ayuda

  Important note:
  
  All Workawayer help is learning-oriented and done alongside trained crew. We do not replace professional tradespeople. Any specialist mechanical, electrical, structural, or certified work is carried out only by qualified professionals. Workawayers assist only with tasks appropriate to volunteers.
  
  Help includes:
  
  Deck work & seamanship basics: line handling, lookout, steering, knots, basic rigging under supervision
  
  Watch-keeping: learning navigation principles, standing watch with crew guidance
  Ship care: light sanding, painting, simple maintenance, cleaning communal areas
  Environmental work: helping with beach/harbour cleanups, sorting marine debris, preparing kits for conservation partners
  
  Galley & community duties: cooking, meal preparation, tidying, supporting team routines
  
  Humanitarian mission prep: organizing supplies, helping pack small cargo items, assisting crew with simple logistics tasks
  
  Animal care: if our friendly ship pets are aboard, Workawayers may help with feeding and keeping their area tidy
  
  No previous sea experience is required—just enthusiasm, willingness to learn, and a sense of teamwork.

  Este anfitrión ofrece intercambio de idiomas
  Our ship is an international learning environment, with around 15–20 volunteers on board at any time. English is the common language for ship operations, but within the crew we also speak French, Afrikaans, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian and others depending on the season. Because people come from many different backgrounds, language exchange happens naturally throughout the day—during watches, while cooking meals together, practising knots, or sharing music and stories in the evenings. We enjoy helping each other improve our language skills, and volunteers are encouraged to share their own language and culture with the group. While in Ireland we hope to improve our Gaelic language skills as well!

  Alojamiento

  The bosy was originally designed as an accessible sail training vessel, so she offers unusually comfortable and spacious accommodation for a tall ship. On board we can host up to 20 people with up to 35-40 including the professional crew, and all Workawayers are provided with their own private cabin with storage, lighting, and ventilation. Bathrooms and showers are shared and located on each deck. Because the ship was built with accessibility in mind, many spaces—including corridors, cabins, and bathrooms—were designed to be suitable for people with disabilities, making the layout wider and more comfortable than most traditional vessels.
  There are also several inviting communal areas: two fully equipped kitchens/galley spaces, a large crew mess where meals are shared, two lounges for relaxing or reading, and a bright, open saloon used for meetings, workshops, and social time. The ship is a friendly, community-minded environment with plenty of shared spaces, but also the privacy of your own cabin to rest at the end of the day.
