pvanstom@fastmail.fm: Dear sir,

My name is Piet van Stom CBC. Master5 Med3 - Yachtmaster Ocean – 200 Tonnes
I am very interested in working on your vessel on the Argyle.
I lead a quiet healthy lifestyle swimming regularly and maintaining fitness. I don’t drink alcohol or smoke.
If you give me a shot at the job you will not regret it. I am reliable, responsible, trustworthy and my safety record at sea is perfect having never injured anyone or lost a vessel.
I take all aspects of being at sea very seriously - especially safety of crew and vessel.
My bluewater ocean sailing experience is very comprehensive (200,000 + offshore nautical miles) and I am a very confidant knowledgeable seaman.
I grew up as a child living on boats and cruising the great Barrier Reef off the North East coast of Australia where my father (a great qualified professional seaman) gave me a solid grounding and education in responsible safe enjoyable sailing.
Since then I have spent many years at sea working my way around the world as a professional qualified seaman myself.
One of my greatest personal accomplishments was to find a 32 ft steel Tahiti cutter in Florida in a terrible state of repair and fully restore and refit her inside and out including building a new rig and electrical system from scratch and then sail her through the Caribbean, through the Panama Canal then across the Pacific Ocean to Australia. We fought many storms in that tiny boat due to a particularly active season and brought her safely into port in Brisbane.

I am a good natured person and make friends easily and understand what it takes to be a team player and professional crew member. Many miles and years at sea have taught me how to smooth waves out rather than rough them up when living and working as a crew member.
I am also very experienced in using computers with advanced skills as well as radio and satellite offshore communications.
I am also very experienced with all bridge navigation electronics including chart plotter, radar and depth sounder. I have technical knowledge in engineering monitoring and maintenance.
Your vessel will always be in safe hands and lovingly looked after.

Photos, references and qualifications can be emailed back to you.

Thank you for your time and consideration
Kind regards Piet van Stom CBC Master5 Med3 - Yachtmaster Ocean

Leila01: Hello to you!

I have sailed New Zealand, Bay of Islands, Poor Knights, Auckland, New Caledonia, Vanuatu, Fiji. I love sailing, sun, sea snorkelling, swimming, beaches, bays and exploring.
I'm intelligent and fun, educated and aware. I enjoy being able to create a great ambience on board. I am eager to learn more.

mail_bags: We're a 30yr old couple, travelling around Europe this Summer on Holiday. We'd like to do a week or maybe longer off the coast of croatia or in the Mediterranean. Im an absolute beginner but a quick learner and pretty handy at fixing things, and my Fiancee sailed competitively at a high level in the 4.2 metre class when she was younger. We're looking to do some cruising through some nice parts of the world in good weather, with plenty of stops along the way. We're quite laid back and easy to get along with.

karenofthesea: Hello. I am here looking to crew on sailboats. I have been sailing for 5 years in and around Cape Cod. I have completed a Pacific crossing from California to Hawaii, and some sailing in the Caribbean, with newly made friends ( and an ex-husband). I am very easy to get along with and can deal with the stresses of being at sea. I have solid sailing skills. Presently, I am working as a registered nurse and I am looking to get away from the cold winters and pursue my sailing passion. I would like to gain more hours toward getting my capt's license.
