I love sailing and like most people who do, I have a dream of owning my own boat.  A friend once said to me that if you want to find out what it’s like to own your own sail boat, stand under the shower and tear up $100 notes.  The good news is it doesn’t have to be like that any more.  Let me introduce you to the concept of Fractional sailing.

Most yacht owners take their yachts out a couple of times a month, if that.  Especially if they don’t live close by the marina.  The cost of mooring alone can add up to $400 a month, loan repayments can be anywhere from a few hundred to sky hight.  And with the increasing cost of fuel, the expense of ongoing maintenance, well it’s no wonder yacht owning has been seen as something for the rich.

With fractional sailing, you get all the benefits of ownership with a fraction of the cost.  WindPath Sailing own and maintain a fleet of yachts and your membership entitles you to seven guaranteed time slots per month in which you can take out a yacht.  No worrying about maintenance - it’s all done for you.  No worrying about equipment - it’s all there.  No worrying about insurance - it’s done for you. 

Payment options are straightfoward and flexible - you can opt for yearly or monthly fees.  There is also a comprehensive training program that covers things like rigging and sails, heavy weather techniques, navigation, crew overboard pick up (this is important - ask me how I know…) as well as a basic safety and operating instructions provided on deck by WindPath staff.
