Watch: Wing on Wing
Quick dash through Indo to Malaysia
I am looking for some one who knows the basics understands the importance of keeping watch and will not flog my rigging like one person I had on board. If in doubt please ask.
totally over sailing solo it would be nice to say hey did you see that!
only to hear wind flatulence and boat noises.
the trip is Darwin to Pangkor Malaysia as Indonesia has been a bit difficult with crew departing yachts while transiting the country.
I do have a lawyer / agent on speed dial if you get that call telling you grandma is on her last legs.
So you will be expected to sail the boat I will teach you how to drive George my hydrovane as he does the steering leaving you free to tweak sails. Navionics are causing all sorts of distress for those in Indonesia at the moment hence the dash through to Malaysia before they wipe my chart plotter clean.
You will be asked to be up front when looking for anchorages trying to avoid reefs. The windlass is on a remote control for ease of use.
Happy to pay for a flight onwards to where ever you want to go.
If you smoke that's fine, just do it outside.
my main kicker here is I have put a bit of weight on while ashore, so looking for some one in the 50-75kg range as George weighs in at around 70kg which makes up the weight of a second person. The boat is a Duncanson 34 so trim is quite important to get the most out of her.
As I normally sail solo having a second person is ok, three is a definite crowd.
I would prefer if you had a life jacket with a built in hood, I will supply an MOB and PLB tied to the boat electronically. But the lifejacket is sans hood.
I had to use a PLB in anger once so consider them essential equipment.
The dingy is tatty but will be replaced in Malaysia it will do in the interum.
no fundamental christians, Evangelests, MAGA, Red hats or GOP NEED APPLY. My ship My Rules.
