Dear Shipmates
Introduction
Been sailing the boat for almost four years now and logged over 30,000 nm. Enjoyed the mainstream cruising destinations but also wandering off the beaten path. In 2026 we will join the “High Latitude Challenge,” sailing from Cherbourg to Antartica, and then all the way north through the Northwest Passage. I’ve had good fortune with crew so far but know that finding one or two brave and experience souls that want to sail these waters will be challenging.
About the boat, the plans, and current crew
usually cleancomfortableluxuriousvery safeshare experiencevisit remote placesseek adventurefulfill a dreamface challenges
The boat is 50 feet in length with three cabins and pretty much every convenience and safety feature for a boat of this length. We have done a little high latitude sailing including Greenland and Iceland but now want to take it to the next level.
What is expected of the crew
clean & tidyeasy-goingfit & healthyfriendlyorganisedrespectfulrarely/unlikely seasickeager to learn & workpositive outlookdon't mind cleaningharmony
There are currently two on board. I’m looking for crew to sail across the Indian Ocean and then north to France. I’m thinking of these passages as trial runs for crew that want to sail to Antartica and the Northwest Passage.
