Dear Shipmates

Introduction

Ahoy sailors!
I’m looking for a sailboat to cross the Pacific.
I got my RYA Yachtmaster offshore license, MCA approved engine course in 2018 and Dive master license in 2007.

I’m respectful, discrete, energetic, no piercings nor tattoos, versatile, high standards, eye on detail, trustworthy, hardworking, proactive, meticulous, diligent, plenty of initiatives, team worker.

I'm good in watches, sailing, trimming sails and problem solving. Average cook, good swimmer, healthy, fit, monkey mast, happy to help in maintenance.

I've sailed some Pacific islands and Southeast Asia. I have crossed the Pacific to Marquesas, then all the way to Solomon Islands. Atlantic crossing, Caribbean and Mediterranean sailing to, adding upto 30.000 nm aprox. on charters and privately owned. I speak English and Spanish fluently. Advanced French, still some terminology to learn, but keen to improve.

I’m willing to give a hand in all aspects on board, so I think that pays my trip, not additionally contributing. I take this serious and make your time worth.
I'm looking for either a payed position or someone will train me on my weak points: mechanics, hydraulics, electronics.

I’m NOT looking for romance!
Hope to hear from you!
Maya
