Watch: A short documentary to get to know me

Looking for friendly cruising in 2024...

Hello,
I am a commercially endorsed YM offshore and have served professionally on sail training vessels.

My main job now is working as a freelancer in media and event production. So that means I can afford lots of time off and enjoy sailing rather than having to work it.

I'm looking for a boat of maybe 3 or 4 people that wants some extra crew to sail recreationally in a "wherever the wind blows" attitude. That might just be a week, a month or maybe a year.

I've got all the tickets I need to work commercially on board, an engineering background (diesel) and I'm a methodical person too.

Mayers Briggs tags me as ENTJ /ENTF depending on what day it is....

You can see me in action on youtube.com/sailingfreespirit where I filmed a 62day circumnavigation of the UK with my S.O.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Fair winds
Richard.
