| Following her graduation from university in 2024, my daughter and I are planning to sail the ARC and ARC Europe in 2024 and 2025 (some way off we know) in our yacht Sanamiru. However ahead of then we would really like to meet possible crew members to join us for a few long hops around Europe in 2023 as we get into the swing of things. We are pretty international. We live in Switzerland, sail around the UK and have 4 different nationalities between the two of us! We are “young and fun”, relaxed and easy and are super excited about our plans. We are looking for one or two crew to help us along and share the adventure with us. | |
