Rick Spencer, male, 73
Ref 21226
| Nationality: | United Kingdom |
| Currently based in: | Exeter, United Kingdom |
| Looking for: | Worldwide opportunities |
| Experience: | 10000 ocean miles / 10000 coastal miles |
| I'm offshore experienced as skipper, but work well with other competent people in that capacity. I and another, very experienced and capable sailor, are interested in crewing together for a capable skipper with a well maintained boat, to enable us to sail in areas and experiences that we might otherwise not get to. We sail separately when an opportunity resorts itself, but enjoy each other’s company and having sailed many miles together, work well around the boat. For the avoidance of doubt, we are simply good friends and sailing partners. | |
