Tall-Ship Sailhand Seeking Deliveries, Deck Work & Miles
I’m a U.S. deckhand and sailhand with recent hands-on experience aboard three Sydney-based tall ships: the 39m barque Southern Swan, 43m brig Søren Larsen, and 16m square-rigged ketch Coral Trekker. I’m currently seeking sailing, delivery, charter, and deckhand opportunities where I can contribute as a capable, safety-minded member of the crew while continuing to develop my seamanship.
My experience includes sail handling on fore-and-aft and square-rigged vessels, line handling, fenders, docking and anchoring support, setting and reefing sails, bracing yards, working aloft, washdowns, painting, rust treatment, rig checks, minor ropework, and light carpentry. I have worked as lead sailhand on busy charter operations, coordinating deck crew, supporting up to 100 guests, supervising guest mast climbs, and helping deliver tall-ship training to crew and volunteers.
I hold STCW basic safety training, VPDSD, a current ENG1 medical, IYT Advanced Competent Crew (Sail), RYA Powerboat Level 2, SROCP/VHF, PADI Advanced OW, SSI Specialty Diver, and current First Aid/CPR/AED. I’m a non-smoker, native English speaker, U.S. passport holder, and hold an Australian Working Holiday Visa through February 2027.
Calm, practical, and easy to live with, I take instructions well, communicate clearly, and am happy to take on the unglamorous work that keeps a vessel safe, clean, and ready to sail. I’m available for deliveries, charter work, maintenance periods, and crew positions.
