Joerg Esdorn wants 1 crew for Kincsem , Amel 55, m.

From Nadi, Fiji to Whangarei, New Zealand.

October 2025 to December 2025.

We are participating in the World ARC 2025/2026 but are breaking from the group in Fiji and will be sailing to New Zealand in late October 2025 for some cruising there. Kincsem is an extremely well equipped Amel 55 from 2016 and I have cruised her for over 30,000 miles since she was new in 2016. She has proven her seaworthiness many times and is very comfortable in most conditions and well maintained. I am looking for one experienced sailor - female or male - to join me and two other friends for the trip from Fiji to Whangarei, NZ. The plan is to for everyone to go on board around October 25 in Denarau Marina in Fiji and leave as soon as the weather looks good. Once we get to NZ, we are planning on cruising the North Island until about December 5 when I will start to get the boat ready for an extended layup period in Whangarei. I pay for all food and drink onboard but charge the cost back to the crew at $20 per day. If we go out for a major meal ashore, we share the cost of that and I reduce the daily contribution to $13. we also share the cost of alcohol consumed on board. I pay for all boat expenses including docking and diesel.
