Highly motivated and passionate Kiwi sailor seeking crew position in Adriatic or Med for summer
Eager to contribute to a positive and professional environment while exploring beautiful destinations.
Delivered two yachts across the Med last year (Bavaria 42, Bavaria 32). Strong on day and night watch duties including tackling torn sails and an autopilot malfunction on one trip – a challenge I embraced! Honing skills on helm, sail trimming, navigation, basic knots, docking, and watch keeping.
I’m a strong swimmer and love being in or on the water having grown up in the Bay of Islands, New Zealand. I much prefer being out in the open water or at anchor in a gorgeous little bay than being on a marina.
I’m a trained chef with years of experience on super yachts (Antibes) and day charter vessels (Bay of Islands) as well as catering and food insecurity projects. Worked with a number of food charities in the past 15 years in Vietnam, Thailand and Australia; am very good at making a great meal with whatever is on hand and cutting out food waste.
Thrive in collaborative environments and possess excellent communication skills.
Open to joining a boat anywhere in the region and have the flexibility to adjust to long or shorter time commitment based on our dynamic/connection.
Passionate about exploring new destinations and immersing myself in local cultures.
Seeking a balanced experience, enjoying leisurely sailing alongside building miles and self confidence as I’d love to tackle a trans Atlantic at the end of this season.
