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.

  • Boat descriptionFor a little boat there is a lot jammed in to it. So a cranky watermaker, a volvo penta...when ever i mention it money seems to evaporate from my account. Hydrovane (George) Big white triangle shaped things, A switlic OPR life raft EPIRB or two plus you get issued with an ocean Signal MOB and PLB while with the boat preferably. 2 X VHF a fixed one downstairs and a hand heldd which is what I use the most. AIS, Radar, Iridium go, Even a air horn. DC to DC charger plenty of solar which birds like to sit on and shit all over. Fishing gear if you like that. There is a spinnaker but it hasn't got a sock on it. Two burner gas stove USB ports all over the place downstairs instruments, Depth, Auto Helm, two wind speed / direction one coarse one fine and a chart plotter. There is a third wind speed instrument downstairs for when you are hove too and don't want to look in case you scare yourself. All I know is it goes up to fifty three on the speed bit. Big old Mantus anchor a very beat up Achillies tender which will be replaced, a suzuki outboard. Two showers one inside the other in the cockpit. Bum gun for those familiar with said item but an old manual pump out toilet so you really get to know yourself. Enough spare parts to fill a bazaar but going through Indonesia, you just can't get stuff. It's a boat they have all sorts of things in them, so boat fridge built in and a Engles fridge used as a freezer Food, water a subwoofer and speakers (Bose) Now she is an ocean boat, had a great time in the southern ocean and when it's blowing she can get along at quite a good speed for her size. Normal 24 hour average is 130 nm per 24 hours or 5 knots average speed. The cockpit is small so it's two people comfortably. Yes it's an older design and make sure you close all the through hulls as when shes cranking if the through hulls are open for the sinks you can have an unexpected water feature. The actual deck head at the base of the mast is as high as say a Benniteau deck height while the mast is within 2 meters of the mast on a bendy toe 40 a big stick on a little boat built like a brick dunny.
