Between April and June the expedition will visit Northern European waters in the training yacht Racer, one of the Royal Navy's Nicholson 55 yachts. The three-month trip has been divided into two-week legs to allow the maximum number to take part and it is hoped that many submariners will enjoy a first taste of sailing. The expedition is also open to those who serve alongside
. submariners at the operational bases — to further forge links between the support and the sharp end. Starting at Gosport on April 2, crew changes will be made at Oban, Shetland Islands.
