Using the Pure Latitude boat share club

Given the variables of boat type and peak/ off-peak sailing periods, the total annual usage depends upon the kind of sailing you like to do. The Pure Latitude fractional sailing fleet allows you endless options. Our level 1 membership gives an average of 38 days on the water but this can range from 15 days right up to 60 days, depending on the boat and the time. If you have kids, then you’ll do mostly family trips and if you don’t, you’ll sail mostly with a partner or friends. If you can sail during the week because of the way you work (or you’ve retired) then you will have more days sailing for the same number of points.

The examples below illustrate what is possible. It might surprise you to see just how much sailing you can achieve, all for the price of a mooring. And you have the luxury of choice, with different boats to match your skill, the mood, or the occasion.
