I have a 55 ft Oyster sailing boat (1997) moored in Phuket, Thailand, which I use for weekend cruising. I would describe myself as an ok sailor for weekend cruising but have never done any offshore or even coastal sailing. I currently live in Singapore and often take my Filippino maid with me for the weekend sailing if I can't find anyone else to go. I am semi-retiring in July (reaching 55) and would like to slowly do some more serious cruising, initially, around the Thai/Malaysian area and, ultimately, maybe beyond. It has occurred to me that, rather than try to teach my Filippino maid to sail, I might be better to get someone who is an experienced sailor, who, frankly, can teach me, but, who can also do my cooking, washing etc (a "sailor" who can do domestic work as well). I am not sure if this is a good idea or not and I guess it will depend on who replies and your own intentions and expectations. It seems to me the job would suit someone who likes living on boats, mucking around marinas, sailing and hot weather (as I don't think I will be a cold weather sailor) - and who is happy to teach me and do maintenance on the boat, while remembering that it is my boat. Also, I think it would be best if you are quite young (in your 20's) so there are no misunderstandings (as could arise with someone closer to my age)! The job could be used as a stepping stone to a position on one of the superyachts that visit Phuket or elsewhere, but, I would want there to be an expectation of 1 year's commitment - as otherwise it will be a hassle for me - and I am only semi-retired so I will be travelling for work etc part of the time, and will want to be able to rely on you to be in sole charge of the boat during those periods.

The boat is a 55 ft Oyster sailing boat (cutter rigged), 13 years old and in very good condition. It does have aircon - but it is not very effective in the front cabins, so you have to be ok with being hot most of the time. The boat has 3 cabins and 2 heads (so you get your own facilities most of the time).
Do casual cleaning and maintenance on the boat. Help me sail it when cruising. Do all cooking, washing and cleaning. Be in charge of the boat when I am away.
