wants 5 crew for TBA, TBA, m.

From Rodney Bay, Saint Lucia to Rodney Bay, Saint Lucia.

January 2028 to April 2029.

I am exploring the possibility of doing the 2027/2028 ARC WORLD RALLY. Searching for boats in the 60-70 foot range now. Would like to have 6+ crew including myself, in 3 watch teams, doing 4on/8off watches. I will pay all expenses except for food contribution, crew travel, and crew safetly equipment. (Harness, personal epirb, etc.) A bit about myself: I hold a 100 ton Masters with sailing, towing, and STCW endorsements. I have completed 1 trans-atlantic and 2 Caribbean 1500's, as well as living on a boat in the West Indies for 3 years. Incidentally, I have also had 2 failed expiditions, due to equipment and structural failures. So I have a good idea of what can break offshore! Among other experiences, I was caught offshore in Hurricane Mitch in November, 1998: This lead to breakage and limping into Bermuda for extensive repairs. If at all possible I would like to meet crew who are seriously interested. I am based on the US east coast.

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

What roles/experience are needed (Crew 2): Watch-leader

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

What roles/experience are needed (Crew 4): does not matter

What roles/experience are needed (Crew 5): does not matter

Sailing with a Rally: World ARC

I'm looking for (gender): either

Cabins/Sleeping : own cabin-own bunk

Smoking on board: non-smokers only

Total people on board: 6

Crew roles: For the watch leaders they must have offshore experienc and recommendations. For the others they must have offshore experience. All must be committed to the passage. Hopefully at least 1 crew will also be a good cook. If a professional, I am willing to pay. FYI: I can supply recommendations for myself. I realize this is only exporatory, but January 2028 is a ways out in the future.

Money: captain pays all expenses

Travel to and from boat: crew pays
