The Grand 8 Sailors Circle

The Enola Sailing Project is conducted by The Grand 8 Sailors Circle, a Swiss-based sailing association.

The association transcends the role of a traditional and recreational sailing club by focusing on adventure sailing and strong environmental commitments.

Enola Sailing Project is about learning, maritime and environmental awareness, safety, and fun.

These are at the heart of every voyage aboard SV Enola, each of which is an all-hands-on-deck journey: the passages are not formal sailing classes, but immersive experiences where learning comes naturally through practice, and invaluable real-world seamanship is gained under expert and friendly guidance.

Enola Sailing Project Offshore Passages

Whether crossing oceans or exploring remote islands, the Enola Sailing Project offshore passages promise unforgettable experiences while enhancing your maritime knowledge and sailing skills.

Depending on your preferences, you will enjoy coastal cruising, ocean crossings, island hopping or even wildlife spotting in remote latitudes – all while discovering unspoilt locations and making lifelong memories.

Testimonial

Gregory is very thorough and diligent in boat preparation and passage planning. He demonstrates great seamanship and crew management.

He’s a good hearted person with a great knowledge of sailing and a real professional skipper as well; he’s absolutely the kind of guy you want to have around when the situation gets rough.

I highly recommend him as skipper and person, and would gladly sail with him again.
