| Hi My name is Douw-Steyn and I'm originally from South Africa. I'm currently working in Malta on a "guesthouse yacht" where myself and another deckhand share the responsibilities of cooking, cleaning and doing all the maintenance onboard. I want to pursue a career as yacht engineer and am looking for any opportunities to build miles. In exchange I can do watch keeping, cooking and basic maintenance/cleaning on yachts. All my experience and licenses are on my CV which I'll be happy to share. | |
