Looking for a Competent Crew position
Hi - I've just joined Crewbay. I'm interested in finding a position as a Competent Crew. I'm looking forward to meeting some new people!
My name is Tony Kerr, a 57-year-old Kiwi living on the Sunshine Coast near Brisbane. I work as an aircraft engineer and run my own aircraft maintenance business. I’m also a pilot with over 1,000 flight hours.
While I spent much of my youth sailing (my father was a professional sailor), I’ve only recently rekindled my passion for the sport. In the mid-’90s, I lived aboard a Roberts 44 ketch. Since then, I’ve completed a Safety & Sea Survival certificate and the Day Skipper online course.
My recent sailing experience includes circumnavigating New Zealand’s North Island on a 70ft ketch and completing a 10-day sail from the Gold Coast to Cairns on a 70ft sloop. I also have a share in a mono in the Whitsundays, where I’ve been sailing for the past three years. More recently, I sailed a 48-foot Mumby around the Fraser Coast and up to Mackay. I have also done a delivery trip aboard a Nautitech 40 Open from Pittwater to Airlie Beach. Recently just returned from 2 weeks sailing in Tahiti on a70ft sloop.
