Watch: Day in the life of a First Mate on a Pirate Ship (Gaff Rig Schooner)

Commercially Endorsed RYA Cruising Instructor looking for experiences

Hello all!

I'm Craig, and I'm currently in the southwest of England. I have completed my Yacht Master Offshore and am also an RYA Cruising Instructor for Sail. I'm a chilled, relaxed person who loves all things water-based and loves to learn new things and skills.

I'm looking for new experiences through my qualifications. I'm experienced in Tidal and Non-Tidal waters, having just finished a season on the south coast of England, working from Land's End all the way to the Solent and across to the French coast. As well as Non-Tidal experience, I have sailed in Greece and Croatia. I'm experienced in both solo sailing and Team Management on board, all aspects of navigation and passage making over both short and long time scales, and also have experience in the maintenance of vessels, including engine servicing and troubleshooting through my AEC qualifications. During this past season, I have worked on fuel, hydraulic, and electrical system repairs.

Looking to crew for both short 1-day trips through to longer voyages. I'm self-employed, so sorting time off shouldn't be too much of a difficulty!

I am an ex-emergency services professional and First Aid Trained, and used to dealing with high-stress environments and working under pressure, should the need arise. Take direction well, as well as being good at working in a team or on my own if required.
