Synopsis
FALKEN will head into familiar waters as she sails on our annual All-Women’s passage from Victoria, BC to San Francisco, where part of our shore support team is based! Experience the wonders of nature, encounter diverse marine life, and witness the transition from the serene tranquility of the Pacific Northwest to the vibrant energy of California's iconic San Francisco Bay. A solid 750 miles of offshore sailing awaits with our team of women professional sailors leading a group of like-minded women on a bucket-list ocean passage. This is also our last Pacific passage before our annual haul-out and refit period, which is scheduled in San Diego. Come November, we’ll have to decide if we stay in the Pacific for another loop, or return to the Atlantic again via the canal.
NOTE
We now reserve two spots for women on all of our passages! Learn more here.
