Independent Crew, Sail Racers & Teams: Career & Payroll Management

Supporting elite

athletes and

Competitive sailing is not just a passion; it is a sport demanding discipline, endurance, and excellence. Whether racing solo, or as part of a crew, every success depends on the skipper’s performance and the strength of the team.

But the sea is not only about competition. Many independent crew members approach their profession with the same level of commitment. Their expertise, dedication, and resilience are essential for safety at sea and the success of their projects.
