RYA Coastal Skipper (Power & Sail) plus SRC/GMDSS & Radar - Looking for crewing opportunities

I've been quiet on this forum for the last year as I've been focused on gaining my Private Pilot's Licence. It's now time to get back on the water, rather than flying over it!

Although I have part ownership of a Hanse 400e I learn something new every time I go out on any boat, so I also love to be able to crew with skippers who are willing to share their knowledge and experience. In return, I pay my way, pay attention, recognise my place, and carry my weight! :-)

My list of the most important things to bring onto a boat? In no particular order I'd say: All the essentials for safe sailing, plus respect for the skipper, my crewmates and the boat, an easy-going personality, an appetite for fun and adventure, (tempered with a large dose of common sense), a 'can-do' attitude (no job too small) and, above all, a good sense of humour! It's also what I ask of anyone that crews with me.

If I sound like someone you'd like to go sailing with then please get in touch. I'm available most weekends at short notice to go sailing on the Solent and, with a bit more notice, for longer passages in the UK, Europe or even further afield.

If you can bear to read on I've included some more detail around my sailing experience and qualifications in the other sections of my profile
