Open boat sailing, River Medway and Thames Estuary nr London

I've upgraded to a larger day boat, a 16'6" GRP Beaufort, named Millie, and now also a MacWester 28’ and I need crew to enjoy sailing them.

Millie is 50 years old but solid built, and I have invested in new sails with deep reefs. Her intention is low tech, engineless picnic cruises and races with my not very sporty club. I do carry vhs and gps, but not for regular use. Millie carries 10' oars that can be deployed in a flat calm, if going out in a blow for a short sail they'll be left ashore.

I have previously sailed single handed in a smaller boat, all over the estuary, having to set reefs, handle anchors, heave to etc will all be much easier with crew.

Crew's main job will be to helm the boat while I do everything else including serving meals and making the tea.

There is also now Lethera, MacWester 28 which intends to sail via Lowestoft and the Frisians to Hamburg after some smaller familiarisation sails.

Can meet in London for coffee or a drink if you like, all quite relaxed.

Look forward to having you aboard.

Stephen
