Some trips are "vacation-like", other more sportic and demands more from ones physical conditions. But in any case, Rocket Science Sailing organizes trips in a way, that everyone is "learning by doing" (as long as one is willing to learn of course).

    No, one doesn't NEEED to, but...sailing is fun and learning to handle the boat is part of the unique holiday experience!

    Moreover, sailing is a team sport. Nothing brings people colser to eachother than common experience of fight against forces of nature! Therefore we strongly advice everyone to participate in maneuvers and in steering the yacht.

    On a side note, it is also simply fair towards another participants of the journey. It is especially important during the long or night legs. But don't worry, no one has to do things above their abilities.

    Nobody is completely safe from seasickness.

    There are viarious ways to deal with seasickness. One can have ready a special pills, eat some ginger, avoid histamins, red wine and red meat, wear special "anti-seasickness bracelet". But best way is to be active during the sailing.

    As we know driver of a car never gets sleepy during the ride. Same is valid for the yacht. Best way - take steering wheel! Or trimm sails and actively participate in streering the yacht.

    Who is concerned about their motion sickness sensitivity, should carry suitable medicine. In case of an acute seasickness, it might be advised to cancel participation in further journey. Rocket Science Sailing will provide any available assistance in this case. All costs are covered by the participant.
