wants 3 crew for Antia, Viva 48 - Cutter rigged sloop, m.

From Catania, Sicily, Italy to Rodney Bay, Saint Lucia.

September 2022 to December 2022.

Sail from Catania, Sicily to Sardegna - Cagliari, across the Med to Nord de Palma, then on to Ibiza, to Gibraltar, then down to the Canaries - Las Palmas, and onto the ARC November to St Lucia. Must have some blue water experience. We are a husband and wife (and my brother) team. We all had extensive sailing bluewater experience thirty years ago. We purchased this boat (that my wife has sailed on many times in the past - numerous trips to Greece, Turkey, Sicily, and a transatlantic and extensive Carib sailing. We began an extensive refit - then, Covid hit, and the boat said on the hard for three years. We completed the total refit this year and are excited to see her sail again. She is a powerful, well-built yacht that sails like the wind and points very well. There are four cabins plus the Salon and two heads. She has flush teak decks. She has a new integrated Raymarine electronics system with chart plotter, sat nav, radar, auto-pilot, VHF, and complete Sat Phone system. Pretty much all is new.
