[ Cancelled ] Europe to Australia Sweden to Australia ref 11326

Andrew Lewis wants 2 crew for Zealicious, van de stadt 36, m.

From Gothenburg, Sweden to Townsville, Australia.

October 2019 to June 2020.

I am taking my 11m steel van de Stadt to Australia - permanently. I can only sail part of the way so I need a crew who can do 1/2 the journey by themselves. The start and end date are very flexible as is the route and the ports of call. But the route must be a safe one, therefore it will be via the panama canal. The Atlantic needs to be crossed during the Trade wind season and before the hurricane season but we need to start from Sweden as early as possible in autumn so the North Sea is not hell. The Pacific route is done between 5 degrees latitude to avoid the hurricanes and to monopolise the easy trade winds. The boat was refitted in 2018 and is being further improved at present

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

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

Sailing with a Rally: None

I'm looking for (gender): either

Cabins/Sleeping : own cabin-own bunk

Smoking on board: smoking allowed

Total people on board: 3

Crew roles: This journey is a long one so the crew must be compatible. Easy going and not competitive. I am looking for a couple or an existing 2 or 3 combined crew (ie a crew who are apply to this advert together) with mixed skills. One person must have extensive ocean experience and one person (can be the same person) must be good at repairs and fixing stuff. I want to see proof of sailing qualifications including VHF radio. Crew 2-4 persons. There is a double bunk in the forward cabin and an aft cabin with 2 single bunks.

Money: expenses shared equally $0
