ARC transatlantic - CREW READY to join (1 person) - ASA certified
*** 1 CREW Available, actually in Cancun for Mar/Apr/May ***
Hi, I’m Ian!
I’m a Canadian world Traveler/Blogger who some of you might know me more as "the digital globetrotter", having traveled to 193 of the 195 countries of our beautiful planet.
I traveled most of the world on land and having seen almost every country in the world, I am now eager to expand my reach to visit the 7 seas! The plan is to gain experience with some friendly sailors and share memorable times together, sharing stories as well as gaining knowledge on the way, always in good vibes.
I’m a certified skipper from the American sailing Association up to ASA 104, with a few experiences on deck as a skipper. I’m currently looking to expand my sailor portfolio by providing you with a reliable hand as a skipper and hoping to learn as much as possible on the way. As an engineer graduate, I am disciplined and a hard worker, follow orders and eager to learn from experienced captains as much as possible. I am also clean and tidy, respectful of peoples place and as a bonus, I’m an excellent cook, love to cook, having worked as a lead cook in 2 restaurants while in college (coming from a French-Canadian family, cooking has always been a must).
I speak 6 languages which by default always makes me the translator in every group I’ve been. But I’m always glad to help. I currently work as a self-employed online marketing specialist, although I graduated university as an engineer in Canada. So I am pretty much location independent work wise, free to adapt my schedule as fits both parties. If you need extended help on board, I have the possibility to adapt to your plans on the long term.
I'm also an experienced kitesurfer, if ever you practice the sport on board. I also have high interest in spear fishing and free diving.
--------- what I'm looking for --------
I want tp share good times, knowledge and life experiences with my host, all while giving as much help as possible. Thats really it. I want to gain experience to eventually buy my own boat and travel the world.
Currently in Yukatan Peninsula, available to start here or around Mexico, but also Willing join to help you cross the atlantic too europe in the ARC.
I’m looking for an unpaid/Contribute skipper position on a private sailing vessel (Monohull or Catamaran, preferably between 35-50 feet) where I can provide help on deck as well as in the kitchen. My sole objective is to get more nautical miles under my belt and learn along the way from friendly captains in exchange of a hand on deck. I have the knowledge on paper from my course, but I am still novice and lack practice experience, still need assistance from a more experienced captain. However, I am a very fast learner, eager to learn fast.
