Dear Shipmates

Introduction

Hi everybody!

My name is Andy and I've sailed on a variety of boats from tiny catamarans, to 60ft monohulls. I've got the ICC, and RYA Dayskipper qualifications, and love to sail in a variety of conditions - doing anything from lazy cruising, to serious racing.

I'm a relaxed professional (former Architect, now owner of a chain of Pilates Gyms) who lives in Malaysia. Easy-going, impossible to anger, and just like to learn and have a good time. I'm not a party animal, but enjoy sundowners and meeting new people. I love to get the sails up and get the boat moving.

I'm interested in short 2-week-or-less sails in Malaysia and Thailand - especially on small family crews who want to do some island hopping and maybe need to do the Phuket/Langkawi leg. Due to limited time, I'm not interested in major boat-prep, stainless-polishing, or hull-scrubbing - but I'm definitely willing to pay a contribution to the boat kitty, and I'm happy to help out with my share of cooking and washing up, as well as watch-keeping and other normal tasks to enjoy the trip.

So whether you're a cruiser who needs an extra hand for some sailing, or a racer looking for some crew, I hope you'll consider me for some friendly, fun times. I'm married - my wife also sails, but she's pretty busy with her Business, so it will just be me for now unless the time-window is perfect.

I'm allergic to milk and butter, so I often bring my own separate food.

I sail to have fun and relax, and love sharing my knowledge and experience with others. I've lived in over 20 countries, and am calm under stress - there's always joy to find in any situation: even in some scary weather!

My motivation and reasons to crew on a boat

have a holidayshare experienceshare charter costsseek adventurelive off the grid

I already do bareboat charters with my wife, so I'm not looking for freebie sailing. I'm just looking for other like-minded sailors to have good adventures with and to share the costs of sailing with. I'm sure one day I'll have my own boat and be the one looking at crew profiles! :)
