About the boat, the plans, and current crew
usually cleancomfortablevery safevery spaciousshare experiencevisit remote placesseek adventurefulfill a dreamlive off the gridmulticultural
The boat is a Fast Cruising Sloop, built in 1987 by Williams & Manchester in the US. This famous cruiser/racer has proven to be the fastest boat in it’s class back then.
It’s a big boat: 78 feet (23,82 meters) with a professional crew and things on board big boats are different from most you may have learned sailing small boats.
We're sailing with a mixed crew, minimum 4 max 7 in a 2 or 3 watch system.
What is expected of the crew
clean & tidycommittedeasy-goingenthusiasticfit & healthyfriendlyorganisedrespectfulskilledtrustworthygood communicatoreager to learn & workpoliteLGBTIQA+ respectfulpositive outlookopen mindedsense of humorcan pay own expensesenjoy cookingdon't mind cleaninggood with maintenance
Because we would like to arrive at our next destination all in one peace and with a happy crew we will give you clear instructions before we set sail and do a safety briefing.
As a crew member we expect you to do your part in cooking, cleaning and the standard household stuff. Furthermore we do have some rules to live by to make life easy and comfortable for everyone on board.
Crew should have a proper international insurance coverage, a valid passport and visa (if required) and bring documents on board!!!
Whilst sailing you will be part of a watch team. We sail day and night.
