DECKHAND/CREW for this Autumn and Winter?

Deckhand / crew for Autumn–Winter 2026/27

Hi, I’m Margo. British–Russian, ex IT programme manager. At the moment I am taking a career break :-). So travelling the world and trying to spend as much of it on boats as possible.

I’m looking for crew spots on private boats, paid or unpaid (if it’s the right boat). Relaxed coastal sailing, island hopping or shorter passages suit best. I am not looking for long ocean crossings this winter.

I’ve got my RYA Day Skipper, Competent Crew, Powerboat Level 2 and dinghy tickets, and around 500 miles under my belt in the UK, the Med, Indonesia and Western Australia. I’ve done offshore passages, night watches and lived aboard. I also raced keelboats in London for a bit too, so I don’t panic when it gets a bit windy :)

Happy to take watches, help with navigation and passage prep, do deck jobs, provisioning, cleaning, whatever needs doing. I love food, so I’m always up for cooking together and eating well on board.

I can’t chip in money at the moment, and I’d need travel to and from the boat covered. But I’ll pull my weight once I am around.

Two or weeks to start off with could be great, and longer if we get on.

Thanks for reading!
Margo
