Have some experience on tall ships, sailed the Malcolm Miller in the north sea, day and night sailing as competent crew. Sailed in the Solent and to the Isle of Wight, in dingies and yachts. Sailed from Inverkip in Scotland around the Western Islands of Scotland. Booked into the ARC 2021, but cannot now join that Yacht. Have time from 20 Oct 21, to around the 15th Jan 2022 booked off work!!! Ready to go! Anyone need a grounded, reliable, non flakey, extra pair of hands ?? Cheers. Find me on facebook. | |
