Captain - Temporary / Seasonal - Min exp 2 years - $10000 - United States
We have an exceptional racing boat, a retired formula 40 trimaran. The boat was designed for two handed ocean racing but was beautifully refit for cruising by the previous owner. We had loads of fun delivering this boat 1000nm slightly offshore up the atlantic coast in 2020. We have been cruising the new england coast on summer weekends ever since. When setup with a racing crew, 20kn+ are possible, and we regularly enjoy 12-15kn when just cruising. Unlike a normal race boat, however, there are loads of changes that make this trimaran more comfortable, safer, and easier to handle at the cost of a couple of knots. The boat has a significant racing pedigree and retired in the late 1990s.
The boat is currently on the hard in portland, maine (since december 2021) and job 1 is to get it launched!
I am the owner and primary operator but not a professional mariner. This is my second ocean-going sailboat in 7 years, with over a decade of competitive dinghy sailing and racing before that. My usual first mate is similar. We both have demanding tech jobs and are looking for: 1) a part time captain to help maintain the boat at the level she deserves, maximize the time we have to sail vs fix things, deal with annual haul out and launch, and captain the boat for long passages or deliveries. 2) experienced multihull racing sailors who we can learn from or race the boat with. 3) Local sailing enthusiasts of any experience who want to go sailing on a really fun boat.
