Join us for a special 5-day sailing adventure in the British Virgin Islands as Pressure Drop and the crew take part in the 2026 Balance Rally. Timed to coincide with this community-focused event, this passage blends relaxed coastal cruising, hands-on sailing, and the chance to experience the Balance fleet sailing together through some of the BVIs’ most iconic anchorages. If you’ve ever wondered what it feels like to be part of the Balance community, or want to see these incredible boats sailing side by side, this is the perfect opportunity.

You’ll live aboard Pressure Drop, enjoying the best of BVI cruising: warm breezes, turquoise anchorages, beach time, and great sailing between islands. Throughout the rally, we’ll join the Balance fleet for fun group sails, casual regattas, beach gatherings, and shared dinners at favorite island spots like Saba Rock and Foxy’s. You’ll still enjoy all the hallmarks of an Outer Passage experience with time under sail, swimming, snorkeling, and exploring ashore now with the added excitement of being part of a vibrant, like-minded sailing community.
