Dear Shipmates

Introduction

Hi, I'm looking to gain some sailing hours and travel, ideally all found or paid work, prior to completing the refit on a small yacht. Anything considered. I have RYA Day Skipper Qualification from maybe 15 to 20 years ago and am studying for yachtmaster. I have sailed on many hire boats both Cat and Mono hull and skippered night crossings in Caribbean ,Med and UK Waters and some casual racing. I have built and maintained boats in the UK and am pretty handy repairing anything from engines, electrics, welding/stealwork and woodwork etc. Currently living aboard vessel in the Bristol area, thanks Simon
