Traveling aboard Starseeker or one of our community boats means:

 

AWSC started  in January 2014 as an independant nd experimental project. Until now the fleets and/or vessels are still managing themselves independantly, agreeing on certain guidelines. Our objective  to experiment for ourselves a different and alternative way to travel and to live in a community with a nomad lifestyle.

 

Our vision is that this structure, mixing travel and community living, inspires more and more people to gather; sailors, travelers, visionaries, artists, idealists, etc, and to spread the idea of communally owned and sustained sailing vessels around the globe.

 

There is a forum that allows people to communicate on various topics concerning alternative sailing:

 

WHAT MEANS TRAVELING ON A COMMUNITY BOAT..

 

-Spreading the knowledge of the ocean. Learn how to become a experienced sailor, living with a shared responsibility of the vessel and its crew's safety.

 

-Experimenting the travel on sea, learn  how to read the sky through the stars and the clouds, understanding the wind and swell, interact with the elements.

 

-Sharing your knowledge so that everyday on the boat is a learning day, where everyone offers and assists to different workshops such as language class, music basics, macrame, sailing yoga, motor maintenance, etc.

 

-Sharing a space where true communication, trust and mutual help is necessary as it is a limited space and reproduces the needs of a 'micro-society'.

 

-Living with values of respect and harmony for the environnement, by transporting ourselves with the natural elements, self-sustaining as much as possible on the energetic plan, water and food resources and by recycling material and food on land.
