| I am an enthusiastic, fit female who loves to sail and so I crew when I can, often in the Solent, UK, Channel Islands and Antigua. I have several courses and crossings under my belt now, YM costal theory, Day skipper, VHF, seamanship & navigation, RYA safety, ocean crossings, and raced/cruised a variety of yachts and super yachts : Oyster 88 Zig Zag, Classic 98 Sumurun to a racier Quarter Tonner. Whilst I love the sailing/racing I am happy in the galley too and make a mean Expresso Martini! I am still leaning and am happy to take on any role with guidance where required. I can take instruction well and always stay calm and happy. Crossed the Bay of Biscay twice in 2022, many uk to France crossings. | |
