So it’s that time of year again when we all make over-the-top New Year’s resolutions that we don’t keep. To help you have a guilt-free year the Bluewater Sailing team has come up with 5 fun and easy resolutions for 2022.
Our Fun & Easy Resolutions For 2022
1. Start Racing
If you haven’t raced in a regatta before then put this at the top of your easy resolutions to-do list. Start 2022 in the Caribbean with numerous world-class regattas such as Grenada Sailing Week, Antigua Sailing Week, Carriacou Regatta Festival and Bequia Easter Regatta.
S/Y Chao Lay is available as a private race charter for Antigua Sailing Week, Bequia Easter Regatta and Carriacou Regatta Festival for up to 12 persons.
Later in summer, head across the pond for the European season of epic racing and dance-your-deckshoes-off parties. Challenging, thrilling, and quite simply great fun – a fun and easy resolution for 2022!
2. Develop Your Skills
2022 is the year to take it to the next level. Ramp up (or brush up) on your sailing skills and knowledge. The great thing about sailing is that there is always something new to learn. Another benefit is that the RYA’s courses are internationally recognised and we can train you up to professional levels.
The Lesser Antilles offer the perfect range of conditions whether you are an experienced skipper or a novice. This is a fun and easy resolution which will bring years of pleasure! Find out more about RYA courses here.
3. Broaden Your Horizons
There’s a big ocean out there just waiting to be explored. Sign up for your RYA Yachtmaster Ocean CoC and then set sail for the horizon on an ocean passage.
Whether you join as a crew member on a transatlantic crossing, or take part in one of the many ocean races, it’ll be a challenge you won’t easily forget. The RORC Transatlantic Race culminated in Grenada this month – you can read the competitors stories here.
4. Join A Sailing Club
There’s no need to let your newly learned sailing skills get rusty. Join one of the many sailing clubs around the world and enjoy your passion year-round. Yacht clubs are a great way to meet new friends and get involved locally. Use the RYA’s handy online directory to find a nearby club.
5. Buy A Boat
Well, this one might not be an easy resolution, but it will definitely be a FUN one! Treat yourself to a belated Christmas present and start the year with a wonderful new project.
One of our blogs takes a closer look at two of our students who have bought their own boats. Find out their advice about being first time owners!
A great blog we love about a couple’s journey from being sailing newbies to live-aboard cruisers is Zero To Cruising. Check out their wonderful adventures and helpful tips.
So that’s it for our fun and easy resolutions for 2022. Pick just one or aim to do all five for a real challenge. The Grenada Bluewater Sailing team look forward to seeing you all out on the water this year!
