| My wife Kathy (46) and I (50) are avid sailors preparing for our future voyaging life. We currently sail our Caliber 33, Winston in and around Montreal, crew and charter whenever we can. In addition to having 2 Atlantic crossings, an ARC+ in 2019 and ARC in 2022, we've chartered in the BVI, Bahamas and Guadeloupe, did a stretch on the ICW for a delivery, crewed Antigua sailing week and crewed for a delivery from the TCI to Freeport Bahamas. If you are looking for two highly competent and motivated crew for a delivery or crossing, look no further. We both speak french and english and are very easy going and sociable. We are great in the galley and I can repair almost anything on a boat. References available upon request. Ma femme et moi sommes passionnés de voile et préparons notre avenir à voyager le monde à voile. Nous voguons notre Caliber 33 dans les eaux près de Montréal, aidons comme équipage et faisons des croisières lorsque possible. En plus de deux Transat, un ARC+ en 2019 et un ARC en 2022, nous avons affrété aux BVI, aux Bahamas et en Guadeloupe, fait un bout de chemin sur l'ICW pour un convoyage, fait part de l'équipage lors du Antigua sailing week et été de l'équipage d'un convoyage des Iles Turquoises à Freeport aux Bahamas. Si vous cherchez deux équipages d'expérience et motivés, faites appel à nous. Nous sommes en excellente forme et santé, parfaitement bilingues (anglais et français), très sociables et habiles dans la cuisine. Je peux aussi réparer presque n'importe quoi sur un voilier. Étant photographe professionnel, d’excellentes photos de voyage sont assurées ! David Boily ([email protected]) : 514 972-7092 Kathy Tremblay ([email protected]) | |
