| We (Steve and Jane) are having a boat built in Gdansk - Sunreef 60 - ready 2 August 2021. We need an instructor/skipper to join us pre handover. Steve sailed/club raced a GP 14 for 6 years in his late teens, he has taken his day skipper theory practical and chartered a Sunfast 37 in the Solent on a few occasions, he needs to qualify to RYA Yacht Master (for insurance purposes) pre departure Las Palmas, Gran Canaria in November 2021. Jane has no experience and is presently doing her day skipper theory. We are both in our early 50s, sociable and looking forward to starting a new phase in our lives having recently retired to set out sailing our boat around the world. We are two focussed individuals - Steve comes from an engineering background and Jane has been a cafe owner, qualified to degree level. | |
