[ closed ] West to East Transat to Portugal ref 14226
From Simpson Bay Marina, to Lagos Marina, Portugal.

This is s repost as 2nd crew member has withdrawn application. Possible crew position for second crew member: MUST HAVE OCEAN CROSSING EXPERIENCE, ABSOLUTELY NO EXCEPTIONS. Insurance may require us to have second crew member with crossing experience. At present, we are crew of 5, all with blue water experience. ARC - Europe leaves from Sint Maarten May 6th travels to Bermuda (845nm). 4-6 days there, then onto Azores (1,800 nm) 3-7 days there then finish in Lagos, Portugal (800 nm). Should be finshed by June 18th. We are all nonsmokers, open-minded, agreeable and friendly. We will all crew, stand watch, have duties. You will have private cabin w/ensuite head.
What roles/experience are needed (Crew 1): does not matter
Sailing with a Rally: ARC Europe
I'm looking for (gender): either
Cabins/Sleeping : own cabin-own bunk
Smoking on board: non-smokers only
Total people on board: 5
Crew roles: Please come prepared with foulies. We only have 5 PLBs, so if you have your own, great, bring it. We have an extra inflatable life jacket w/strobe & tether. We are a well cared for Saona 47 w/solid galley and are well prepared for an Ocean crossing. Since we have not done a crossing, insurance "may" require an additional crewmember. We won't know until we hear back from Insurance Broker (today or next week) stating that our present crew is sufficient: one crew member has crossing experience, the rest of us have blue water. I have my USCG 25 ton captain license, eligible immediately to upgrade to 100 ton. 2 married couples who are great long-term friends, one crew member with from the UK with crossing experience. Sorry for short time line, it sucks on our end too.
Money: captain pays all expenses
Travel to and from boat: negotiable
