Looking for Captain/1st Mate, Delivery Crew or Racing/Racing Crew position
Hi. I'm looking for a professional, well organized, safety conscious and adventurous active sailing crew/vessel. I have a full skill set ranging from Skipper to tender driving, fishing, diving, engine maintenance, etc. I have multiple Atlantic passage experience east and west, don’t smoke, have a passion for sailing and traveling, and am just as happy to cross oceans as winter in the Caribbean or summer in the Med.
My most recent experience consists of 2 years as Skipper/1st Mate/ Engineer on multiple Atlantic passages as well as Med/Caribbean/Bahamas/Red Sea/Indian Ocean/Seychelles sailing on a 72 ton steel Conrad 66' cutter sloop with dual electric furling head stays, mast furling, and hydraulic sail trim/electric winches. Prior to that I spent 6 mths as Skipper/1st Mate in the South Pacific, Cook Strait, New Zealand's East Coast, Minerva Reef, and Savu Savu, Fiji on a 1983 55' Tayana center-cockpit cutter sloop supporting an older couple who owned it. The rest of my experience has been in the Chesapeake Bay and in South Florida as skipper on a Catalina 455 and racing a Tripp 33'. Farr 395 and a Tartan 40'. References upon request.
