[ Cancelled ] ALASKA Spain to Canada ref 4196

ALASTAIR WILSON wants 3 crew for MAIA, Colvic 50', 15m.

From Estepona, Spain to Victoria, Canada.

June 2015 to September 2019.

A very well built and strong 50' sailing ketch. I plan long term to take the yacht to the Pacific, either through the Panama Canal or quite possibly the North West Passage via the East Coast of Canada and on through to Alaska. I really want to do Alaska and the Aleutians. Between now and then there is a lot of work to be done refitting various items. Now is a great time to join the boat if you are interested in mechanics, engines, sails, rigging, electrical, satellite and SSB. I also intend to do as much sailing as possible locally which is around the Southern coast of Spain, Gibraltar and Morocco.

What roles/experience are needed (Crew 1): does not matter

What roles/experience are needed (Crew 2): does not matter

What roles/experience are needed (Crew 3): does not matter

Sailing with a Rally: ARC – Atlantic Rally for Cruisers

I'm looking for (gender): either

Cabins/Sleeping : shared cabin-own bunk

Smoking on board: non-smokers only

Total people on board: 4

Crew roles: Crew will be involved with all aspects of running a 50' sail boat. I will put together a team of crew (probably about 15+ people with 4 sailing at any one time) as I know some will not be able to do the whole trip i.e. crew will join and depart the boat for different legs of the journey. At various points during the journey, the boat will be laid up and crew will have the opportunity to return home for a few weeks/months.

Money: voyage cost

Travel to and from boat: crew pays
