Older Chartering, Crewing, Crewbay experience

In April 2015 I helped an older couple deliver a 46 ft Sloop from St Thomas to Trinidad 500 miles . In the fall of 2014 I sailed 5000 miles, as Mate on 60 ft Jongert Ketch from Corfu Greece to the Caribbean. These were Crewbay opportunities. In the past I sailed for 6 months on a Square Rigged Ship and worked for a summer in Alaska on a Salmon Troller. I have sailed a lot on Lake Superior. I have been chartering sail boats and have done 3 deliveries. I have sailed in Turkey, Italy, Greece and Caribbean. I have crossed the Atlantic 4 times. I am very mechanically inclined and a easy going guy who is good in an emergency. I have been an ASA Instructor thru Bareboat ASA104 and Navigation ASA105. I was recognized by ASA as Outstanding Instructor in 2015. I have a USCG Captains License OUPV Near Coastal.

  • Boat descriptionLisken is a 1992 Pacific Seacraft 34 ft. The past owner spared no expense fixing her up for a single handed circumnavigation. Lucky for me, he didnt get far and abandoned the trip fall of 2014. I bought her spring of 2015 on Lake Ontario in Canada with 6 new cruising Sails, new Furuno electronics, new windlass, new rigging, new commercial autopilot, Water Maker, Monitor Wind Vane, new upholstery, upgraded frigiboat refrigerator, variable pitch Propeller, new outboard for Dingy, life raft, Jordan series rouge, mast steps etc. I bought new anchors and flexible solar panels for her. In 2016 I replaced the engine with a new Yanmar. Lisken is a sweet boat! She is made for offshore. She performs great when the wind gets up. North Atlantic Crossing was 13 days. Novascotia to Ireland. She was designed by Bill Crealock a famous yacht designer. I am keeping her in excellent condition.
