Hello to all,
I recently purchased a beautiful 2004 Dutch made Contest 50' cs monohull luxury yacht after years of not sailing and now getting back into it.
Leaving Brisbane end of May 2022 and heading towards Cairns and returning to arrive back in Brisbane sometime in November 2022.
Will be visiting towns, islands and the outer reef along the way. These may include Lady Musgrave, Capricorn Group, Keppel Group, Percy Group, St Bees and the Whitsundays Group. Towns should include Hervey Bay, Bundaberg, Yeppoon, Mackay, Airlie Beach and Townsville etc.
THIS ALL BEING WEATHER DEPENDANT OF COURSE.
Looking for crew for the journey or parts there of. Ideally not novices but happy to teach if I have other experienced or semi experienced members to assist with the running of the boat. Maximum of 4 on board (including me). Forward queen bed and a double bunk cabin available (not really suitable if you're over 190cm tall).
Daily sailing were possible. Cleaning and cooking roles are shared by all etc. Safety onboard is paramount and having fun essential.
Female crew most welcome.
Share food costs and perhaps a little for diesel if we have to motor for lengthy periods.
Happy to chat if you're after more information.
Kind regards,
Peter.
