| I have been sailing since college, the usual transition from dinghies to yachts. Gained my day skipper ticket in 2001 and since have added RYA Yacht Master (theory) Diesel engine, sea survival and RYA Professional Practices and Responsibilities certificates. I have owned a Moody 35 - sailing her both in UK waters and the Western Med - then moving to a Nautical Development 56 ketch based in Jolly Harbour, Antigua. I sailed in the Caribbean for 4 years Antigua to Grenada mostly.. I have crewing experience in yacht relocation and have done new deliveries. Very comfortable working with other crew members, and experienced to always maintain good course / log and keep watch reliably on deck during night hours. Please get in touch for a chat if I can be of help Regards Alastair | |
