Ref 39219
| Nationality: | United Kingdom |
| Currently based in: | Bournemouth, United Kingdom |
| Looking for: | Worldwide opportunities |
| Experience: | 0 ocean miles / 1200 coastal miles |
| What I do: Yoga Teacher, Health/Fitness and Dementia Specialist, and part-time Carer. Age: 60 (DOB: 22.11.1959) I am keen to find a skipper who needs good crew (and I've even been referred to as a watch-leader) for the ARC sailing in November, 2020. Thank you for reading. Qualifications: Competent Crew, Day Skipper Theory and Practical, Diesel Engine Maintenance, DSC VHF Radio, and RYA First Aid at Sea (to be obtained in March 2020). To date my sailing mileage is 1,200 (split between tidal and non-tidal), with only 17 hours of that time being night hours. Sailing Experience: I began sailing dinghies in Canada when I was 10. I later raced Fireballs out of Eastbourne, UK, and then had a long lull in my sailing until I began to be race crew on a yacht out of Christchurch (Dorset) Sailing Club from 2014. Since April 2019 I have owned my own yacht: a Parker 27 (kept in Christchurch harbour). I am a novice at being my own Skipper but I am determined to become a good one! In 2019 I started, via the Charity Gwennili, to sail as volunteer 1st Mate (almost weekly) to help provide offshore yacht sailing opportunities for people with disabilities; largely serving and retired servicemen and women. For my age I am fit and strong, and have good stamina. I don't smoke, (can tolerate those who do!), can enjoy a good drink, but also can go without. I would hope that the Sailing References I could supply would confirm that I am: thorough, quick to learn, enthusiastic, fun, having good mental/emotional endurance, quite fearless, and also a good team member, whilst also able to lead when necessary. They may also know that I like to keep my own possessions, and things on board, very tidy and ordered, that I am a competent cook and an excellent dish-washer and cleaner! References: please ask if you need. | |
