? About us:
I’m John????– RYA Yachtmaster Offshore & Cruising Instructor, and have taught sailing worldwide and sailed over 15,000nm across the UK, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, the Atlantic, the Med, and the Caribbean. Sailing with me is Felicia ??, my partner, We’re both easygoing, safety-conscious, and love the ocean.

⛵️ About Fiasco:
She’s a strong, well-equipped 32ft Wauquiez Centurion with ocean miles under her keel with up to date comprehensive safety equipment (Liferaft/EPRIB/AIS/etc). Ideal with 3–4 crew. We keep things safe, simple, and fun – rotating watches, shared meals, and lots of coffee. ☕️

? You’ll need:
– Sailing experience
– Ability to stand a solo or couples night watch
– Good vibes, teamwork, and a love of the sea

? Interested? Send a message and tell us a bit about yourself – experience, vibe, and availability.

? If you have experience and/or qualifications then there will be no financial contribution expected from you for food/fuel/etc, I will consider some help towards travel costs. ?

Let’s cross Biscay with purpose, good company, and stars overhead. ⚓️?
