Phillip Bennett wants 2 crew for Kind of Blue, Southerly 135, m.

From Plymouth, United Kingdom to Lagos, Portugal.

June 2023 to July 2023.

ARC Portugal in June 2023. I have filled the crew list for now, but please be in touch if you'd like to be thought of as a reserve in case anybody drops out. Ideally you will have some sailing experience and be able to keep a watch but its day sailing so not too arduous. RYA Competent Crew or Day Skipper or similar experience would be great. Otherwise any age, any gender.

Phillip is currently based in London, United Kingdom

What roles/experience are needed (Crew 1): Watch-leader

What roles/experience are needed (Crew 2): Watch-leader

Sailing with a Rally: ARC Portugal

I'm looking for (gender): either

Cabins/Sleeping : own cabin-own bunk

Smoking on board: smoking allowed

Total people on board: 2

Crew roles: I am an almost-retired ex-medic and university academic, with over 20 years of experience of sailing my Southerly 135, ‘Kind of Blue’, in northern European waters. She is a 13.5 metre lifting keel, solid sailing boat, in good condition, having undergone a significant recent refit. (For those that know Southerly’s she is a deck saloon model, with a linear galley joining the saloon to the aft cabin. She is the last one built with a single rudder (in 2002). I’m now looking to expand sailing horizons, initially to Portugal and then possibly into the Mediterranean. My partner is unfortunately easily seasick, and my other crewing friends don’t have time for longer ocean passages, so I am looking for new crew for these adventures. I am booked on the ARC Portugal in June 2023 and I was looking for crew to accompany me (either for the whole rally or for parts of it). I have had lots of interest, and at the time being, the crew list is full. There is one double bunk, and one single bunk in their own cabins available. There's also room to bunk elsewhere in the boat. So I would be happy to consider singles, couples, or any combination. Ideally you will have some sailing experience and be able to keep a watch. RYA Competent Crew or Day Skipper or similar experience would be great. Otherwise any age, any gender. I don't mind if you smoke as long as it's on deck. I will pay the rally fees, but I will ask you to pay the individual crew fees and to make a contribution to the cost of provisioning. The overall cost will depend upon how much of the rally you stay on board for, although I think the most economical thing is to do the whole rally!

Money: daily contribution from crew $1

Travel to and from boat: negotiable
