I have been sailing since I was 12 and grew up on yachts since I could walk.
Last year I sailed my yacht from the UK to the Mediterranean. At the end of the season, we headed directly South from Sardinia to Tunisia and she has been berthed in a marina near Hammamet for the Winter.

I have upgraded most of the yacht's navigation and sensor equipment myself. I have 600 Watts of Solar panels and a large 300ah Smart Lithium primary battery.
I am seeking 1 to 2 crew members to sail with me from Tunisia to the Adriatic and Agean Seas and all adjacent countries. Finally returning to Tunisia in October this year 2026.
I'm really a people-person with a good sense of humour so single handed sailing doesn't really do it for me...

  • Boat descriptionShe's a quick boat, sails well in light winds and points upwind very close. A big rig for her size. Full masthead rig with a Genoa 1 and generous sized Main. New 95 SQ Metre cruising chute with suffer. SeaGo 4 Man Life Raft Jonbouy Man over board recovery system. Jackstays & Clip on leads & cockpit clip on points Raymarine Chartplotter/MFD above Helm Wheel and can be mounted at the chart table Raymarine EV1 motor driven Autopilot with P70s Head Brand new Garmin Wind sensor and GNX instrument display & through hull Airmar Smart Triducer for depth, and water speed, pitch, roll &leeway angle.

Active dual band Radar Transponder. Digital Yacht-iNavconnect Wireless router with WL50 router and WiFi access point with long range antenna, providing a WiFi network and WiFi/ Ethernet integration to the yacht's instrumentation & NMEA Network. All passages are planned, plotted and logged on paper charts and log books. Then the routes and waypoints are entered into the Navigational equipment and as the skipper and navigator, this is regularly checked and cross referenced by marking the position on the paper chart so if the vessel ever lost power, the course and position can be verified and followed. I have 2 hand held battery powered VHF radios as backups. The 2 & 3 year old sails have just been valeted, serviced and treated. I am also replacing all the running rigging that is in constant use under sail. Brand new 4/5 man Tender with fully reconditioned 6HP outboard engine. Large refrigerator, microwave, stereo, 12 volt TV. 300ah LifePO4 Smart Battery for all boat systems and lighting. Engine starter battery. Windlass battery. Solar Panels and AC Inverter. All Victron equipment for handling mains charging & Solar power management. The yacht is now in Tunisia after 3000 Nm of sailing from Southampton UK via Galicia, Portugal, to Gibraltar and then up the Eastern coast of Spain, through the Balierics and across to Sardinia. Finally, after cruising around the island for 2 weeks, I headed South to Tunisia and worked my way down to the Mid East Coast. The yacht is in a marina close to Enfida airport where the majority of Budget airlines fly to from all over Europe, N Africa and the Middle East.

Competent and safe skipper. Well kept yacht.

Went on a lovley and lively day sail on the solent with Richy.I find him to be a competent skipper with attention to safety and knows his boat well. he is also quite a tidy skipper (to my liking) and always keeps the cockpit clutter free. The boat sails well and has all the safety equipment. It is very well maintained and looked after, really clean on the inside too. I would recommend sailing with him, and look forward to do so myself.
