Sign-Up
Signing on below is the first step towards the adventure of a lifetime. 59º North is not a sailing school, but crew often say they have learned more in one day with us than a full week of formal class. Focusing on fundamental seamanship, we’ll teach you how to anticipate the weather & make routing decisions, how to optimize the sail plan for different points of sail in different conditions, how to helm, how to use the radar and on and on. You will become a better sailor — and a better thinker — sailing with 59º North.
We’ve created an environment onboard that fosters hands-on learning and teamwork. Our skippers and mates are almost always co-ed, and we sail with a diverse crew of mixed genders, nationalities, ages, sailing & life experiences. Everyone gets an equal opportunity to participate in running all aspects of the boat, from navigation, helming, sail trim etc., and yet nothing onboard happens by accident. Skippers & mates manage the crew’s varied fitness and skill levels to make sure everyone stays safe while being able to fully participate.
If you have any more questions, be sure to check out out Testimonials page to read what other crew have said about sailing with 59º North, and review our FAQs page. Still unsure? Contact us at holdfast@59-north.com and we’ll happily reply via email or get on a call with you.
