Looking for a Captain or 1st Mate position
Hello and good day.
I've joined Crewbay as I'm interested in finding a position as a Captain or 1st Mate for delivery trips, long passages or a long term position.
I am a lifelong sailor with RYA YM Ocean Certificate.
I have accumulated over 70K sea miles in UK, Mediterranean and Atlantic waters.
I have completed two East-West Atlantic crossings in the last four years, one in a 47ft' mono as 1st mate and one in a 45ft cat - as skipper.
My experience in the Mediterranean and the Canary Islands includes 10 years of skippered chartering on my own 46ft yacht.
I have worked for Nielsons as a sailing instructor and with PYD yacht deliveries as a 1st mate.
I spent 5 years as a voluntary watch officer with The UK Sail Training Association.
I was a membe of the Metropolitan Police Marine Section trained in boat handling under power with both single and twin screws, hard-boats and ribs. I have RYA level 2 powerboat certificate.
I have 10 years experience of 'round the buoys' racing in the Solent (UK) plus Fastnet and Middle sea races.
I'm very safety conscious, and treat any yacht as if she were my own but at the same time with my history in dinghy and yacht racing I enjoy getting the best out of any boat I sail.
I am always ready to learn but equally happy to pass on my experience in a friendly manner.
Many thanks for reading my profile.
