Sailing south

I am sailing direction south. The boat is ready for a new crew. You can start in October 2025.
I can teach you sailing, navigation, boat maintenance, everything about boats and low-cost traveling. The crew can help with: driving the boat, night shifts (if we do longer sailing), mooring the boat, cleaning, cooking (I am vegetarian, but vegan food is not a problem for me. My girlfriend is vegan, and I am used to it), and boat sitting if I go sightseeing or shopping.
I paid for the boat. The crew can pay for the marinas. (It is a small boat, and the marinas are around 30 euros per night. If you are a couple or 2 friends: it will be 15 euros per person. It is much, much cheaper than staying in a hostel.)
No skills needed, just motivation for work and learn.
Rules of the boat:
No drugs allowed on the boat, also no meat or seafood (bringing and cooking on the boat), and no fishing.
It is a sailing boat and I almost not using the engine. I am using the engine just to get in and get out of the marinas; the rest will be sailing using the wind. I am not going if there is a forecast for more than 30 knots of wind gusts.
The plan is to move the boat from the Netherlands to Belgium, France, Spain until Portugal before November 2025. Later, I will do an Atlantic crossing with my girlfriend. But my girlfriend is in Bulgaria now, and she can not help until November.
If you have more than a few days of free time, is better because sometimes we need to wait for nice weather before the passage.

I am filming all of the trip. You can see the interior and the exterior of the boat on my YouTube channel:

Awesome experience

Ivan is a patient and calm captain , he navigates an old but nice and functional boat. He has the necessary skills to teach you nodes, manoeuvres, and generally sailing. I spent 8 days in his crew and it was a wonderful time , we went through very nice days of navigation. Ivan is a really honest and nice person and I can only recommend to navigate with him! Thanks again captain ! See you around the world maybe in South America ?
