Watch: Cruising off of Beachy Head
Skipper/owner looking for non paid crew for Cross Channel & UK cruises. Heading to the Med in July!
I'm looking for crew with some experience, not necessarily a vast amount but no near novices or people that haven't sailed for 5 years or more. Competent crew level or above.
I have a quick Ocean rated 36 foot cruiser/racer. She has had many upgrades in the 12 months I've owned her. Large rig and sail area and recently new sails and latest instruments.
Weekends or weekdays as I am semi retired. Destinations in months April to June will be Cross Channel and some longer South Coast UK cruises.
In July, I hope to have 1 or 2 new crew members that gel well with myself and the other crew want to sign on to her down to the Mediterranean with me and explore the whole thing and the Greek Islands and up into the Black Sea eventually.
I would love to head off to Asia eventually but that's a long way off and I believe the Med and the Agean, Ionian and Black Seas' will be enough for now and whilst it good to have goals, take it one step at a time.
Until July though, we will be based in Southampton.
I'm currently, Skipper Engineer and Navigator. Also, I do most repairs and all marine electrical work myself. So many hands make light work. I am close to having her ready but finding a permanent crew member who I could rely on to help me occasionally when there are jobs that require two pairs of hands, would make me a happy man.
I traded my way up to this lovely boat by buying and refitting a couple of smaller, older cheaper boats. I own her outright and have worked very hard and spared no expense to have a fast yet comfortable blue water cruiser to follow a lifetime of dreams and ambition.
I would Prefer non smokers but I vape occasionally to relax if I cant sleep but never around people. Occasional smoking tolerated when not on stand - But No smoking below please!
