Star Chaser, a beautiful, fast Swan 51 offers novice and experienced crew some exciting sailing opportunities: across the Atlantic with the ARC, offshore passages from the UK to Europe and the Canaries, racing in world famous regattas (Fastnet, Antigua Sailing Week) as well as relaxed cruising in Europe and the Caribbean. Skipper/owner Boogie’s philosophy is to ‘enjoy everything’ and he certainly enjoys taking part in the ARC: this will be his 3rd with Star Chaser and his 17th Transatlantic. He is a qualified RYA/MCA Ocean Yachtmaster/Cruising Instructor and a passionate sailor. He is tremendously knowledgeable and loves teaching people about sailing. He has sailed in numerous places and regattas around the world and is always loved by all crews, not only for his racing skills, but also for his enthusiasm and his relaxed, confident manner. For Boogie, the ARC provides the perfect vehicle for people to experience fantastic sailing and he loves the social aspect as well.

Boat all ready, crew all ready and happy and rearing to go...seeing them off the dock and then over the start line was a funny feeling, but I know they will have a great time on the happy ship Star Chaser with their unique skipper Boogie! Which leaves me with mixed feelings: happy to see everybody having a great time, but a bit sad not to be going as I love the sailing, the crew and the skipper!When they are settled in, the first blogs will come from the boat, so keep watching!
