Looking for a Competent Crew, Sailing instructor, Mile building or Delivery Crew position
Experienced sailor looking to join a trans-Atlantic crossing from the Med/Europe to the Caribbean in the fall of 2025.
I am a Sail Canada Advanced Cruising Instructor with many years and around 8000nm of coastal sailing experience on the West Coast of Canada. I own my own sailboat in Vancouver, and I’m looking to gain some offshore experience. I can cook, stand watches, navigate, and trim sails well.
I’m easy going and fun to sail with. I’m looking to join a well run sailboat, preferably at least 45ft or 13m. I will be in Europe this fall (2025).

A Sailor You Want to Have on Your Boat
Sailing with Mike is a bit like adding both an autopilot and a sailing encyclopedia to your crew — except he’s much friendlier and won’t beep at you in the middle of the night. He’s an excellent sailor who really knows his stuff, especially when it comes to sail trim. If you want to squeeze the last tenth of a knot out of your boat, Mike can tell you exactly how — and if you don’t, he’ll happily adapt to your style and let you run things your way. He’s never picky, never fussy, and always easygoing. If you’re curious, he’ll share a wealth of sailing knowledge. He’s the kind of crew who’ll grab a rag, a screwdriver, or a winch handle without hesitation. Whether it’s cleaning, repairs, or just lending a hand, Mike is always willing to pitch in. On top of that, he’s relaxed, calm, and has a genuinely friendly personality that makes time on board not only smooth but enjoyable. In short: if you get a chance to sail with Mike, take it. He’ll make your boat faster, your workload lighter, and your days on the water more fun.
