Hi there, my name’s Wayne. I’m the owner of a 50 ft Aluminium cutter. This boat is all about cruising in warm places preferably with great diving, interesting local sights and food, and friends both aboard and on other boats.
I’ve been sailing since I was a kid and I’ve completed three Pacific crossings and many other passages as skipper. I’m much more interested in a safe comfortable passage than I am in speed, so I’ll probably never win a race.
I prefer quiet remote anchorages with clear water over marinas.
Shouting is never allowed onboard, even by me, unless its necessary to be heard over wind or other noise.
Safety is the always the first concern. I've sailed various boats about 50,000 miles and the most significant injury for anyone, was a broken finger while at anchor.

Update November 2024. I plan to launch the boat in a few weeks. Late in the year, or in January I plan to do the Indian Ocean crossing via the Maldives and the Seychelles. I'll have a some sailing time in Malaysia before the passages so this will be a good time to get to know potential crew. If you think that you would be a good fit on the boat and would like to do some portion of the above passages let me know.

The main requirements are a cheerful, enthusiastic attitude and respect for the safety of everyone onboard.
I don’t really care whether you have a lot of experience or very little, but I prefer that you have spent at least some time on boats.
Standing watch will be a requirement on passages. This will essentially mean being able to stay awake for a few hours at a time to watch for ships or other dangers and to call me if there is ever any question.
Crew will have to participate in boat chores, including a share of the cooking, cleaning and provisioning work.
Crew are responsible for costs of travel to and from the boat, including visas.
