I am aged 68 years, My qualifications are limited to Day skipper but I did pass the Yachtmaster shaw based exam but it was many years ago. My tidal experience is limited to a few passages along the english channel as crew. I have a lot of experience as skipper 45 to 50 ft yachts in coastal waters of the Mediterranean and BVIs This was while chartering mostly Sunsail yachts with my family and friends. I am fit and active being 5'9'' and weighing 12 Stone. My general health is excellent. I believe I will be a competent crew member and watch keeper. I can turn my hand to any required task on a boat and have good understanding of navigation and navigation equipment (not a sextant). I can handle sheets and warps and can trim sails and have a good understanding of all of a boats systems including the heads. I have a reasonable knowledge of electrical and mechanical systems but I'm not an expert. My cooking skills are limited but I'll take my turn. I am a widower so I'm able to be very time flexible. | |
