Looking for crew position from mid November 2019 onwards
Hi, I´m Hans, 53 years of age, Norwegian, living in Droebak (close to Oslo.
Currently in process of leaving work and selling house to pursue a long time dream of seeing the world from a sailboat.
My goal is to buy a cruising sailboat somewhere in the SE pacific/Australia, but as a transition from coastal sailing in Scandinavian waters I would like to take a position as crew in order to gain experience of longer passages and the area.
I have been around boats since childhood, starting with motorboats but was introduced to sailing about 15 years ago, and have never looked back...
I currently own a Forgus 31 that I sail, mostly singlehanded, around 500-800Nm each year during our summer season.
The sailing is mostly day-sailing, but I have also made trips to Denmark, Scotland and Iceland that includes overnight passages.
I have a Norwegian D5LA certificate. It is a "Leisureskipper" certificate valid worldwide for Norwegian flagged leisure and charterboats up to 24meters and 12 passengers.
Skills:
Good navigational skills, and familiar with navigational electronics.
Familiar with maintenance of diesel engines, esp. Volvo Penta.
Good cook
Personality:
Easy going, quite social, but also need time on my own.
Non smoker
Moderate with alcohol, no drugs.
