I am using this website to try and find a berth to do the ARC 2020. I have wanted to sail across the Atlantic for years. I am able to get to Gran Canaria to 'bubble up' before the event. I sailed back from the Azores to Spain in March 2019 (as crew) and loved it. I have done a few cross channel trips to Cherbourg and back to the UK so am happy on bigger trips and have stood watch at night using compass navigation. Very happy to get stuck into whatever needs doing on passage. I am a UK national and speak passable French. I'm a UK qualified Doctor which would possibly be useful...! | |
