Dear Shipmates

Introduction

I am sailing around the world in my 2023, 44-foot catamaran over the next several years. I will visit many remote and exotic locations. I am looking for one fulltime onboard crewmember (male or female). I will also need occasional crew for many of the offshore legs. Come join the adventure!
The 2024 and 2025 plan is to sail in the Caribbean Basin, including Trinidad, Curacao, Bonaire, Panama, Mexico and Cuba. March 2025 we transit the Panama Canal and start the Pacific side.

About the boat, the plans, and current crew

The boat is a 2023 Maverick 440 Catamaran built in Cape Town, South Africa. I am Owner/Captain and sailed the boat from the factory to the US (7700 miles, 7 weeks). I have over 40 years experience as an offshore sailor, racer and cruiser.

I am looking for somebody passionate about sailing, and who would share in the duties onboard. One of the responsibilities expected would be organizing the galley and provisions, and would share in cooking, or have primary responsibility for meals. I tend to prefer healthy cooking and enjoy a variety of foods, and would like the same in my crew. Looking for somebody active and fit and comfortable working on deck.
