Looking for a boat partner to help me manage the boat on a more longterm basis. A cruiser for long strechs.
In progress..
I first started sailing as crew on Crewbay years ago, even met my husband here. And have been sailing ever since. So I get the motivation to learn. I simply can't take on inexperienced crew ATM. Sorry.
At this point, I'm looking for an experienced boat partner/captain! Someone to help me manage the boat more longterm. Looking for an experienced sailor and cruiser that likes to anchor out most of the time. This is an old fashion ocean crossing vessel. It's not a racer, or a daysailor. This boat as always been well maintained, and is rather comfortable. It's just a little to much boat for me, on my own.
Mecanical and engeneering skills are a must. And you should be able to fix anything kind of thing. It goes from plumbing to electric, all the way to fixing the head, if we must. You know, just boat work!
I'm debating on either: going to Martinique for a while, or Isla mujeres (Mexico), then Costa Rica, Panama. Or, I might decide to hit the boatyard for a few weeks before we go.
In Florida ATM, leaving after Hurricane season. Trying to find someone easygoing, has it is life in a smallish space. Basically, hoping we get to know each other before then.
And...
- You should be able to leave for extended periods of time. Around October this year.
- You need to be willing to travel almost anywhere in the world (or even boat deliverys eventually).
- You can't get sea sick, or be unable to function.
- You need to be fit and agile. Meaning not overweight.
- NO one over the age of 53!
- No bearded men. Yes, it's a deal breaker if you don't shave most of the time!
- Obviously, there will be some costs involved on a more permanent basis (to be negotiated).
I hope you'll be as passionate about sailing and the boatlife as I am! :)
Thanks,
Fair winds
