Scott Forsyth wants 2 crew for Cooktown Orchid, Oyster 406, 12.34m.

From Rostock, Germany to Kalmar, Sweden.

July 2017 to August 2017.

We are looking for crew to join us (we are a husband and wife couple) for all of or specific legs of the ARC Baltic 2017 and the passages from the UK to the Baltic Sea and return. The outbound passage will be from the East Coast UK to Rostock in Germany in late May/early June via the Dutch and German coasts then through the Kiel Canal to Rostock which is the starting point for the 6 week ARC Baltic rally. The ARC Baltic departs on 10 July and visits Bornholm, Denmark, Visby, Sweden, Tallin, Estonia, St Petersberg, Russia and then returns more leisurely via Helsinki, Finland , Mariehamm, Aland, Stockholm, Sweden exploring the Finnish and Swedish archipelagos and finishing in Kalmar, Sweden on 20 August. We plan to return to the UK by the end of September. The individual rally legs are between one and two days sailing then with time to explore ashore. The focus of the ARC Baltic is the culture and history of the region and the beauty of the Swedish and Finnish archipelagos. Certain guided tours are included in the rally crew fee.

What roles/experience are needed (Crew 1): Watch-leader

What roles/experience are needed (Crew 2): does not matter

Sailing with a Rally:

I'm looking for (gender): either

Cabins/Sleeping : shared cabin-own bunk

Smoking on board: non-smokers only

Crew roles: We are looking for 1 or 2 crew, one of whom should have RYA watch leader/day skipper or preferably coastal skipper experience as a minimum. We would also expect you to take your turn in watch keeping, cooking, cleaning and maintenance tasks as required. We will pay fuel and mooring fees and the boat entry fee for the ARC Baltic itself. You would be expected to pay the ARC Baltic individual crew fee (depends on the number of legs sailed - see World Cruising Club website for details), travel and visa expenses (a Russian visa is required for the Tallin to St Petersberg leg) and to share in food costs. For the trip to from the UK to Rostock and from Kalmar back to the UK we will pay fuel costs but a contribution to mooring fees as well as a share in food costs would be appreciated. We are planning work up passages in late April/May and it would be a good opportunity for you to join us for those if you can.

Money: expenses shared equally

Travel to and from boat: crew pays
