Dear Shipmates

Introduction

Since buying my boat in Qld in 2020, I have made my way around Australia and the South Pacific.

I am now heading with one or two buddy boats from qld to Indonesia leaving third week of April, travelling along the barrier reef islands and stopping at everything and anything of interest along the way. My boat will stay in Indonesia for about six to nine months.

Generally easygoing by nature, I love the ocean, am a strong swimmer (competed in long distance ocean swims), love fishing, spear fishing. I would prefer crew that are independent but flexible and can hold up an intelligent conversation. Some physical strength but no sailing experience is required.

I currently have one crew, seeking one additional crew with 3 maximum on board.

About the boat, the plans, and current crew

very safevessel is survey certifiedusually single handedseek adventurefulfill a dream

My boat is a 10.5 (11.5m with bowsprit fitted), 6m beam, Rogers catamaran fitted with main, headsail, screecher and spinnaker. Electric thruster for manoeuvring in marina. 25hp directional outboard. Nominally sleeps six people, two doubles two singles but I would say three people comfortably. Boat has been surveyed aug 20 and is compliant to international safety standards and in very good living and sailing condition although not luxurious (it is a sailing boat not an apartment with sails). Boat is registered for international travel and I have starlink internet. Very safe, very fast and stable boat, ideal for exploration of coral islands/atolls. Sorry no aircon.

What is expected of the crew

easy-goingfit & healthytrustworthyconfident swimmeropen mindedsense of humorwill not bring a friendwill not bring a pet

Expectations are limited to being part of a team, being flexible, not in a rush and contributing some experience, no wallflowers need apply :-)
