Seeking Delivery Crew spots, Mile building, Boat sitter, or exciting Voluntary work positions!
RYA Day Skipper - Military Trained. 22 Years Old
5000nm | 218-night hours | 150 days at sea
I am excited to share my love for sailing and create fun, enjoyable experiences on the water. My sailing background, primarily through the Military at Joint Services Adventure Sail Training Centre (JSASTC), has equipped me with a wealth of practical and theoretical knowledge. I enjoy making sailing accessible and enjoyable for everyone, especially by training those new to the sport.
I typically serve as mate on 34ft monohulls around the UK South Coast, mainly based out of The Solent. However, I am eager for adventures abroad, whether it's long delivery legs or acting as a mate to ensure you can get some rest by taking watch. I thrive on new experiences, meeting diverse people, and fostering a friendly and relaxed atmosphere on board. I’m looking forward to joining new crews and contributing to memorable and fun sailing trips.
I am looking to jump onboard as a mate, crew, or stewardess. Ideally, I am seeking paid positions, but I am happy to discuss volunteer opportunities (:
