Dear Shipmates

We ( our small family and I ) are preparing to sail to the Florida Keys, Bahamas and beyond.
We’re patiently searching for a good soul to assist us with daily life and maintenance on our Freedom 40 with our two young children.

Marine carpentry
Hull construction and repair ( traditional, cold molded and cored composite.
Machining
Rigging
Plumbing
Wiring /electrical
Vacuum bagging; Infusion
Painting
Hardware installation and much more

Thank you for your time and consideration.

We look forward to hearing from you

Andrew and family

About the boat, the plans, and current crew

fairly crampedusually cleanlive on little moneyshare experienceseek adventurefulfill a dreamlearn a languageface challengeslive off the grid

Current crew: me, my wife Jess, a little girl that just turned 4 and knows how to tie a constrictor knot and a little adorable monkey boy of one and a half, climbing all over the boat.

What is expected of the crew

clean & tidyeasy-goingorganisedgood communicatortravel light (little luggage)eager to learn & workpositive outlookopen mindedsense of humordon't mind cleaningwill not bring a friendwill not bring a pet

The expectations of the crew are little: help with everything that needs to be done. Basic daily tasks like cleaning, watching the kids, little maintenance and repair works, joining day trips on land with the kids (4+1.5yo).
We are living off grid, mostly on anchor with little power.
