Adam Spiegel wants 2 crew for SV Saltair, Hallberg-Rassy 57, m.

From Bora Bora, French Polynesia to Cape Town, South Africa.

May 2025 to December 2025.

We are looking for experienced crew to join Saltair for portions of our World ARC adventure around the world. Saltair is a well-equipped 2023 Hallberg-Rassy 57 sailed by my wife and I and our 12 year old son. Since taking delivery of the boat in Sweden we have sailed over 15,000 miles together. We are looking for two crew for the following legs, each structured to be roughly one month in duration and to include both time offshore on passage and time cruising, exploring the interesting islands and atolls of the Pacific. The segments we are currently seeking crew for are: — Bora Bora, French Polynesia - Fiji (Musket Cove) in May / June (lots of cool stops!) — Fiji - Cairns, Australia in July — Cairns, Australia - Darwin, Australia in August We also have opportunities for the passages between Darwin and Cape Town starting September. Our plan is to sail longer legs with four experienced adults onboard (my wife and I and two additional crew). Crew share a spacious forward cabin with two single berths and also share the forward head with our son. We will cover all costs while aboard. Crew will pay round-trip travel and all shore-related costs. Crew must obtain travel medical insurance covering repatriation and emergency evacuation. Non-smokers, flexible eaters please. No alcohol while on passage.

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

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

Sailing with a Rally: World ARC

I'm looking for (gender): either

Cabins/Sleeping : shared cabin-own bunk

Crew roles: We are looking for sailors who have offshore experience sailing at night and are comfortable standing solo night watches. Experience on larger (50’+) yachts with complex systems is helpful. We come from a yacht racing background and appreciate others who do as well. We all take turns with cooking and cleanup while on passage as well as pre-passage provisioning and setup and post-passage deep cleaning. Our son is schooled while underway so you should be comfortable sailing in a family environment. Other personal characteristics that we value include: -- Positive attitude, easy going and able to get along well with others over an extended passage at sea. A good sense of humor appreciated! -- High level of personal integrity -- owning and learning from mistakes -- Young (and/or young at heart!), active and physically fit -- Fishing and/or cooking skills appreciated! Non-smokers, flexible eaters please. If you believe yourself to be a good fit for us please send us an email (svsaltair.crew at gmail) explaining why and include your sailing bio and which of our passages you would be interested in.
