Working away from family and friends may mean that yacht crew are less likely to talk about a low mood or feelings of distress than someone ashore who sees their loved ones every day. Just as means of communication with home can be limited, crew may face other restrictions to their wellbeing such as monotonous routines, long working hours, shift working, and isolation. It is vital we pay attention to our mental health because it affects how we think, feel and act.
