WHAT'S NEWS?

Welcome…

As members, you’re going to remain pretty special for as long as you’re with us. LTLA Royalty, if you will. Who knows, maybe one day we might even have a Royal Founding Member’s Sailing trip.

We hope you get the help and guidance you’re looking for on your learn to live aboard journey.

So, thank you. And welcome.

Reach out if you need anything at all.

Cheers,

Serge Testa

Here’s a video chat you’ll love! Join me for a chat with an amazing man!

40+ years ago he built a boat in just 3 months, and set off around the world, single-handed.

His boat was a whopping 11’10” long! Yep, you read that right – 11’10”!

His World Record still stands today.

Our video chat with Serge is online now. Go to Lights, Camera, Action to watch the full version.

Learning Centre

Our Learning Centre is pretty exciting.

You’re going to be able to work through tutorial videos and lessons to better understand what you’re actually needing to do on a boat to stay safe and to enjoy the ride.

Stay tuned, be safe and have fun.

FREE “Position Fix”

A Position Fix is a 1 hour, online zoom meeting where we have a chat with new members so I can better understand your current skills and knowledge and your desired objectives. Together, we’ll get you started on a plan that’s unique to you. And the Position Fix is free!

Email me directly when you’re ready for your Position Fix.

Early days

Yes, it’s early days for us here at Learn to Live Aboard, but we’re getting there.

We’re on a mission to build a platform that can save you months, if not years, on your Learn To Live Aboard journey.

Like many, we all did it the hard way (and still do sometimes), through good, old-fashioned, trial and error.

My objective is to help you avoid as much of that as we can.

I’m never far away…

If there’s ever anything at all I can do to assist you, or you’ve just got some random question that’s been plaguing you. I’m always here to do what I can to support you.

So, to this end, please feel free to email me directly at any time.
