| I am a young sailor who is passionate about life at sea and is looking to obtain as much experience on the water as possible. I am a Carpenter by trade and have been working in the yachting industry for the past 2 years. After spending so much time on M/Y I have learnt serious discipline and have fine tuned my seamanship to a high degree. I am however still hell bent on becoming an awesome sailor and want to find a boat that will allow me to brush up on my colregs, navigation and boat and handling skills. I am an intuitively obsequious technician who possesses many transferable skills which make me a valuable asset to any crew. I am driven by prestige and adventure and want to learn as much about the trade as possible. I have just under 6000nm under my belt as well as a Day Skipper course and feel as though I am a natural on deck. Would love to meet as many like minded people in the industry and am determined to circumnavigate the globe. | |
