Watchleader looking for deliveries/ mile building in europe
I am a 28 year old engineering student from northern Germany and looking for offshore experiences, such as deliveries.
I do have ~7000 nm sailing experience, mostly sailed on a 65 ft gaff-schooner and 26-70ft bermuda rigged monohulls in the Baltic and North Sea (tiny little bit in the mediteranean as well). I have sailed ~3000 nm as first mate and watchleader in a watch system incl. extensive nightsailing, have never been taken out by seasickness and am physically and mentally fit.
I am a reasonable helmsmen, can trim sails, reef etc. I can cook and do the regular work that comes with operating a sailing boat and being at sea.
I would describe myself as a calm and colected person, easy to get along with and reliable (also based on feedback I get). I am rather on the introverted side of the spectrum but appreciate live onboard as a crew.
I do at this point only have have the ICC and Long Range Radio LRC certificates.
However, I used covid lockdowns to work towards the german equivalent of the YM Offshore (Sportseeschifferschein); and while I do not hold that license, I have passed the theoretical exams and bring solid theoretical knowledge in navigation, watchkeeping, COLREGS, weather, use of radar etc.into my practical sailing.
I am particularly interested in longer passages and looking forward to gaining more practical experience with the RYA YM offshore as a goal to further develope my sailing.
If you need crew and think that I could fit in, please get in touch!
Fair winds,
Julian
