| Hello I love sailing and the sea. Sailing since childhood dinghies and now I own a 19' Cornish Shrimper and sail the coastal waters of the UK, West Coast of Scotland, South Coast. I have been lucky enough to crew a 12m Dufour sailing extensively in the solent, to the Isles of Scilly and most recently crossing the bay of Biscay. I loved the offshore sailing and all the challenges it creates and would welcome the opportunity support a crew crossing the Atlantic. I am fit and competent to perform all crew duties, night watches, cleaning cooking. Please get in touch to find out if I might be the right person to join your crew. | |
