Dear Shipmates

Introduction

A great opportunity to live two weeks at sea on a pleasant sailboat with pleasant people ! Dates will be probably 20 August thru 3 qSeptember 2025 two weeks.

About the boat, the plans, and current crew

usually cleancomfortableluxuriousimmaculatevery safevery spacious

I am in my 70's, having sailed since childhood, done three transatlantic crossings, and having celebrated in 2016 the end of a world tour of 39000 nm on my own boat, sold afterwards. The chartered boat I have in Greece this year 2025 again is a new beauty of 2021.

What is expected of the crew

clean & tidyenthusiasticfriendlyrespectfulconfident swimmerrarely/unlikely seasickgood listenertravel light (little luggage)eager to learn & workpolitepositive outlooksense of humorcan pay own expensesenjoy cookingdon't mind cleaninggood with maintenancecan follow orderswill not bring a bicyclewill not bring a friendwill not bring a petharmony

My wife and me offer a sort of family-like ambiance, I need the strength of young men to make the passage safe and to do the chores above and below deck. Navigation I do myself, as well driving the boat when anchoring and docking in harbours and marinas. There are mainly shared day watches of 5 to 6 hours, occasionally a night watch 2 to 3 hours for each crew. I express our thankfulness for your dedication to sailing with us by paying for all the costs of on board living. No participation required for food, diesel, Marina. All on shore costs (bars, restaurants, hostels, travel, visa if any, insurance) remain yours.
I expect good discipline, smile and laugh. Knowledge of engine mechanics and electronics, taste for literature, chess and classical music a +. Good command of French helpful.

No smoking, no drinking on board.
