Non-smoker. Want to continue my sailing experiences, knowledge, adventures and make friends
Hello all. I am RYA Yacht Master Offshore (commercially endoresed) with additional qualifications (12v DC marine course; AEC1 Diesel Engine course). I also have my ENG1 seafarers medical certificate and my First Aid at Sea certificate and the MCA Personal Survival Techniques Certificate. I have over 5000NM sea time.
I am mechanically minded, practical, hands on, and like problem solving. Character wise, I am easy going, reliable, honest, optimistic, patient, a listener and a learner. I am domesticated, tidy minded and can keep a clean ship. I am also very safety conscious and mindful of potential safety issues.
Thank you for reading my advert - It's difficult trying to describe oneself! If you are interested in me as a crew member perhaps we can video link and meet that way. Many regards, Jamie.

Excellent, level headed, calm, safety conscious.
I had the pleasure of embarking on a 10-day sailing journey with Jim, from Malaga to the Canary Islands, and I must say it was an unforgettable experience, thanks in large part to Jim's exceptional sailing skills and positive demeanor. Jim proved to be an incredibly adept sailor, displaying a remarkable ability to learn swiftly and maintain a composed demeanor even in challenging situations. His calm and steady presence during rough patches was reassuring, making the entire journey smoother for everyone on board. Jim's optimism was contagious; he consistently approached each day with a bright outlook, infusing the entire crew with a sense of enthusiasm and determination. His proactive approach to maintaining the boat ensured that everything ran smoothly, contributing significantly to the overall success of our voyage. During our challenging 5-day passage, Jim's dedication shone brightly. He willingly volunteered for numerous less desirable night shifts and duties, demonstrating not only his competence but also his selflessness and commitment to the team. His willingness to take on responsibilities, even in adverse conditions, showcased his strong work ethic and unwavering dedication to the crew's well-being. In summary, I wholeheartedly recommend Jim without hesitation. His exceptional sailing abilities, quick learning, calm demeanor, and willingness to go above and beyond make him an invaluable asset to any sailing team. It was truly a privilege to sail alongside him, and I am confident that anyone who has the opportunity to do so will find his contributions invaluable.
