AUG 1 - Essex via Cornwall to Gijon Spain 2 crew needed

August 1- (Essex to Cornwall to Gijon (N Spain))
I'm looking for 2 crew for yachtmaster exam experience, Mile building, anyone interested in a sailing adventure with minimal 1-2 hour stops and possible 1 night in Cornwall before crossing the Biscay. Maximum sailing, minimal engine use.

Estimated passage length:
Essex to Cornwall - 4 days
Cornwall to Gijon - 4 days

27 ' Vancouver 27
Room for 3
1-2 sailing, 1-2 resting

Yacht is newly fitted out with sails, rigging, ais, radar, wind vane, tiller pilot, starlink, weather forecasts and weather routing. Engine condition is as new.

You're welcome to eat whatever you want on land but whilst at sea the food on board is vegetarian/vegan only and there is no fridge. ( I'm very good at making flasks of tea, coffee etc and cooking tasty meals whilst sailing.)

I'm waiting for a sail delivery at the end of July but the departure could be delayed a week if they come late or if it's suits the crews availablity.

I'm a day sailor gaining experience with longer passages and studying for coastal skipper/yachtmaster. I have crewed on longer passages many years ago.
