Preemptive and apologetic notice:

New chapter
We ( our small family and I ) are rebuilding an old International 800 yawl.
We’re patiently searching for a good soul to assist us with restoring our boat Sanderling, with our two young children.

In exchange for your assistance, we pay cash, to the order of a mutually agreed upon amount as well as unlimited training in the following trades:

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
We’re setting up a shop for efficiency and clean healthy working conditions.

Crew involved in the restoration are also most welcome to crew as well on our first voyage.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

We look forward to hearing from you

Andrew and family

My former entries (Now Obsolete ) have been retained for posterity and the character they impart.
Since then, a functionally destructive survey has been conducted on key structural areas that became suspect after arrival in Japan from the Philippines. After a ton of time and effort my findings indicated that the boat needed a new pair of CM Amas. Currently there may be a cargo proa in the works ; opportunity to pick up new skills in lofting, vacuum infusion, eco friendly systems and sailing boats that shunt. Will be getting off on a new shunt altogether learning and exploring new horizons and concepts.
Hope to see you there.

The boat is gone: Fallout of lockdowns, bureacracy and bad politics. Plans for the C60 proa are already in the works. Nearly a decade of survey, rebuilding and hard tuition imparted what many lagoon owners are also finding out.
Build it well yourself; know what you sail on can be trusted with your life and the life of those you care about. Russian Roulette otherwise.
The following has been retained for posterity to impart where I’ve come from.
I’m not seeking uninitiated “rail meat” to babysit an autopilot and be forsaken the opportunity to learn about the art on a comprehensive level.
This is a solicitation for long term crew partners to get in on the future of multihull sailing from the ground floor as appointed trustees of a sailing trust.
Just to clarify ( those who join this build will have an equal stake as tax exempt trustees )
based on mutually agreed upon terms.
I’ve pulled enough all nighters ( pro bono ) in development shops to value the efforts of others and hence there will be no “Owner Crew paradigm,..or paradox for that matter, that takes advantage of anyone.
If you’re keen to gain top level skills and get into a next generation multihull then you’ve come to the right place..
Again the rest has been retained for posterity
It’s been a long road; learned a lot; glad a new chapter has started.

She ( or he..) is 38 ft with acccomodates 6
built in tonga in 1993 by the late Robert Adaire and sailed to bonbonon philippines.
Beam is 28 ft with a 3 foot draft (18 inches with the board up. The rig is fractional with a second forestay for a Genoa. Average cruising speed is 8 knots although 10 is quite attainable. She has carried me through 40 + kt gales with serious seas quite well. She is conservative but quite simple green, efficient, and easy to sail.
Space aboard is simple, and basic, much like living in a cabin on the water (makes me feel at home). The power system is solar and wind based, with enough capacity to run lights, the tricolor, and power the navigation equipment. The boat underwent a "refit" in the Philippines that left her in rough shape, from this I learned that opening a book and using my own hands to make things right makes crossing oceans safely a reality. The yacht needs repairs, mostly cosmetic, which would be better done with crew, so all hands are more familiar with the boat and can feel the reward of a job well done.

The current crew consists of myself, perhaps my small, friend Eli, or in the future, my friend Steven, his wife and their young daughters, but for now it is just me and a small tree.

The expectations of the crew are straightforward :assist in basic repairs you would trust your life with, help maintain a level of cleanliness you would trust your health with, be conservative, and willing to work hand in hand with myself, and enjoy the beauty of voyaging.
