Expressions of Interest Pacific Rally 2026

Crew Wanted – 2 Positions – Pacific Rally 2026 (Apr–Nov)
Australia → New Caledonia → Vanuatu → Fiji → Tonga
Planning to depart east-coast Australia around April 2026 and return November 2026, following the Pacific Rally route (or sailing independently on the same schedule).
I need two competent crew to meet insurance requirements.
Ideal crew
Proven offshore/ocean-passage experience (essential)
A sailing couple is ideal; two friends or individuals also welcome
Easy-going, team players
Able to commit to the full season (or at least the ocean legs + most of the cruise)
Contribute your fair share of onboard expenses (food, fuel, moorings, visas etc. – no salary, shared-cost trip only)

Relaxed trade-wind sailing in paradise: warm water, world-class snorkelling, friendly islands.
The voyage is firmly in preparation and strongly intended. Final confirmation will come early 2026 once rally registration and weather windows are set.
Serious enquiries only – please reply with:
