David Poole wants 1 crew for Pure Joy, Seawind 1600, m.

From Port Louis, Mauritius to Cape Town, South Africa.

October 2025 to December 2025.

Six weeks of exciting sailing from Mauritius to Cape Town with a stopover in Richards Bay for a safari trip. Great sailing experience reaching the South Aftrican coastline and heading South along a fascinating and challenging coast line to Cape Town. An opprtunity to join the relaxed and friendly crew of Pure Joy but also to join in with the World ARC social events, celebrations and parties - meeting and networking with crews from all over the World in different types of boats. The core crew is David (Skipper), Joy (Crew), and Elliot (junior crew, 9 years old). Also aboard is Francesca who is Crew (Yachtmaster) and a teacher for Elliot. We would like a 4th adult member of crew to support our journey from Mauritius (or Renunion Island) to South Africa. (Richards Bay and then ideally onto Cape Town as well.) We are a fun, comfortable and reasonably fast boat - we find ourselves towards the front of the fleet on most legs. We are looking for a flexible and fun crew member for this important leg of our circumnavigation. We are a dry boat on passage and have plenty of fun in port. Strictly no smoking on or around Pure Joy.
