What is Auriga Sailing?
Auriga Sailing organizes and leads small groups of Bitcoiners on fun, relaxing, rejuvenating sailing retreats. No sailing or boating experience needed. The boats are catamarans and the retreats are an easy way to step away from the minutia of daily life and focus out wide on the bigger picture: a few days on a catamaran meets think-tank. The fresh salt breezes can clear your mind and make space in your thoughts for more creative exchanges.

How did we choose the name Auriga?
Auriga [pronounced Oar-eye-guh] is a large star constellation in the northern hemisphere, and was among the primary constellations listed by the 2nd-century Egyptian astronomer Ptolemy. Its name is Latin for “(the) charioteer”. Its brightest star, Capella, is the third-brightest star in the northern hemisphere night sky. Since Hank was a child he has loved this constellation and its connection to horses and the charioteer as a driver and captain.
