Watch: Neel 51
Florida to Azores in April. Mile building on a Neel 51
* Florida to Azores in April. Mile building on a Neel 51 trimaran *
The boat is a Neel 51 trimaran.
She is spacious (living area of ~100m2), fast (almost inline with cramped Outremer51), safe (unsinkable by design, much harder to capsize than a cat) and equipped with all possible amenities and safety features. High-speed internet (Starlink).
I, as a captain have around 20k nm experience. Mostly singlehanded or shorthanded. My motivation to have extra crew onboard is the general safety.
The plan is to start crossing to Azores in mid-April. I need 2 extra crew (so 3 total including me).
For crew I prefer mile builders with at least few days of offshore experience non-stop. Contribution only for food.
The whole trip might take up to a month and can be pretty bumpy sometimes. You have to realize it and do your own research.
Your duties during the passage will be watches and general house keeping.
