SAILING FAMILY in the Maldives

Sailing through the Maldives we show you the dichotomy of life on board. High tech navigation and internet connection with Starling, gives way to the low tech activity of having the wash our clothes in a bucket on the stern steps.

Ahoy there adventure enthusiasts! Get ready for the chance of a lifetime! This sweepstakes offers one lucky winner the opportunity to spend an unforgettable week sailing with The Cruising Kiwis at a destination of your choice. Imagine the wind in your hair, the sun kissing your face and the rhythmic sound of waves beneath you as we sail together.
For a limited time we are holding a sweepstakes and offering one week accommodation on our boat. (round -trip airfare and any extra activities to be paid by the winner themselves)
Each $10 support = a chance to win ($100 support = 10 chances to win)
(All participating patrons get two chances for every $10).

BACK STORY
In 1997, after rowing at the Atlanta Olympics, Rob rowed a tiny 7m (22 foot) plywood boat 2,500 miles from Tenerife (Canary Islands) to Barbados (Caribbean). It took six weeks for Rob and rowing partner, Phil Stubbs, to complete winning the inaugural Atlantic Rowing Race.

Skip forward to 2014 and, married with three children, Rob and his wife Rachel purchased Javelot, a 43 ft Fountaine Pajot catamaran. Armed only with Rob's 3 years of racing P class yachts from the age of 11 to 13, and Rachel's non existent sailing knowledge, We set off to learn the ropes of ocean sailing. We broke stuff, replaced stuff and got to know their boat before heading offshore with the kids, Finn (then 13), Declan (then 11) and Ivan (then 8), in tow. Through trial and error we have become confident wayfarers, kind of.
The plan? To sail around the world.

A Happy Belated Birthday to Ivan! Every year on my birthday my mom would tell me what happened on the day of my birth. My dad was coming back from where he was stationed in the military and was walking up to the house as my mom was leaving to head to the hospital. She would later have home births with some of my younger siblings. I liked to hear the story of my birth and hear her reminisce about that day. She’s been gone for almost 5 years and I miss those special moments with her. I hope that Ivan had a fantastic day.

Well done Finn! And OMG! The birthday boy is terribly horizontal about it all. I suppose that comes from growing up amongst nature and sea. Happy Birthday, Ivan!

What a great gift it must've been for Ivan! 💙 😁 I'm from Argentina, living close to Lio's family in the Santa Fe Province, and let me tell you, he might be the greatest yet simplest human being in the world! Of course, we love him, but it puts such a big smile on our faces seeing examples like this! We're not that far away in our hearts. 🤜🤛🤗

Finn is a remarkable athlete. Amazing. Sharks make me nervous. I just feel like they are unpredictable. I watch a lot of of shark videos. Sometimes they stay away and sometimes you have to push them away. And you don’t want to be outnumbered. I’m much more comfortable when I can’t see them. 😂

Those are great birthday gifts. Finn is bound and determined and many could take that as a lesson to be learned. Never give up.
