Dear Shipmates
Introduction
Currently cruising Massachusetts
About the boat, the plans, and current crew
usually cleancomfortablevery safeusually single handedvisit remote placeslive off the grid
I have owned this yacht for 34 years and with her have thrice circumnavigated the North Atlantic, Boston, Acores, Maderia,Canarys,Cape Verde, Africa,Brazil, Caribbean and thence eight years within the Caribbean. The boat is a Contest 33, well found, well maintained and well suited for blue water cruising. Currently cruising Massachusetts.
What is expected of the crew
clean & tidyeasy-goingfriendlyrarely/unlikely seasicktravel light (little luggage)open mindedsense of humor
I am looking for a easygoing well rounded, flexible individual. Enthusiam is perhaps as important as experience. Someone who finds enjoyment in a comfortable off the grid anchorage enjoying a novel or three and puttering about. As crew I would expect this person to help with watch keeping, possible time at the helm (yacht has a wind vane & auto pilot), sail changes, and meal preparation. A crew should know how to travel light as there is little extra room aboard.
