What is Raiding? At our events, which span four days of sailing, each day's races (or non-competitive group sailing, depending on which boat you're on) are divided between our smaller craft and larger yachts. Routes are set by Matt and most participants are lined up for the starting sequence! Cream tea or a picnic moored up in a cove, the days vary depending on where we sail and the weather of course. Evenings are spent unwinding by the water with a cold drink, followed by a delicious meal and the day's prize-giving, always full of good humour. Some of the hardier sailors stay aboard their Swallow, while others opt for a more luxurious stay in nearby accommodations. Unlike traditional racing, raiding is all about camaraderie, strategy, and skill—without the use of engines. It’s just wind, water, and teamwork! Join the adventure and experience the best of sail-and-oar cruising, join the waiting list to hear about our next raid. 🌊 Sign up + learn more about our events: https://swallowyachts.com/events/ ⛵ Discover the Swallow Yachts Association: https://swallowyachts.com/the-association/
BBC Earth has asked me to participate in their Real Happiness Project. The aim of the project is to inspire people to enjoy nature because a study has shown that being exposed to nature, even if it is just virtually, makes people happy. Here's a little contribution on how living on my sailboat Karl / the ocean has brought so much happiness to my life. Comment below how nature makes you happy or share this video to spread the word :) thank you!!! And thanks to BBC Earth for letting Karl and me be part of this awesome project! Enjoy and Ahoy, Nike & Karl
