[ Archived ] Atlantic Crossing West to East Virgin Islands - British to United Kingdom ref 7614

David Bowes wants 3 crew for Destiny Of Scarborough , Hallberg-Rassy 48, 15m.

From Road Town, Virgin Islands - British to Southampton , United Kingdom.

April 2017 to June 2017.

I'm bringing Destiny back to the UK from the Caribbean, beginning in Tortola at the end of April. Planning to call in for brief stops of a few days at Bermuda, Azores & Isles of Scilly before completion of the passage in Southampton. All dates are intended departures and subject to weather, etc. Start will be in Tortola; 27th April. It would be possible to join the ship in Bermuda; 8th May and Azores; 29th May.

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

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

What roles/experience are needed (Crew 3): does not matter

Sailing with a Rally: Independent

I'm looking for (gender): either

Cabins/Sleeping : own cabin-own bunk

Smoking on board: non-smokers only

Total people on board: 4

Crew roles: On an extended passage such as this, I would expect crew to share cooking, logkeeping and navigation; I will also be in the rota system. However, I'm happy to tailor roles to individual's expertise and/or their desire to learn. There will be the usual minor preparation jobs before setting out and cleaning the boat at the end of the trip. I have been sailing many years and would be happy doing part of this journey single-handed but company and extra hands, not to mention sleep would be welcome.

Money: captain pays all expenses

Travel to and from boat: crew pays
