We intend to leave Phuket in mid-February. Passage non-stop mostly under sail to Kota Kinablu, Malaysia. A short break to recouperate before heading up to Subic Bay, Phillipines, where we can wait for the right weather for our final crossing to Hong Kong, where the delivery shall be complete.

On the boat already are a professional English captain and a professional Malaysian deckhand, both in their early 30s, who know the boat and take care of general maintainance and exterior cleaning. We are looking for two or three volunteer crew to join them for this delivery trip.

Crew shall mainly be expected to:
- Conduct solo watches under captains direction
- Share cooking duties between them
- Participate as crew in vessel manoevres and activities
- Maintain own cabin cleanliness and participate in minor, routine, interior cleaning
- Act respectfully towards the boat, and other people on and around the boat, at all times

Cabin arrangements depend upon what crew come aboard. We have a queen guest cabin, and a twin bunk bed guest cabin both with en-suite showers and heads. We would have a preference for either two females to share the bunk cabin, or a couple/team to share the queen cabin.
