Dear Shipmates

Introduction

Hello I’m Jax recently became a solo sailor (broke up with my partner of 5 years) so looking for crew is new for me. I’ve been living aboard for 5/6 years now love the lifestyle. I have two cabins so any crew will have their own private space. I’m from New Zealand I like to stay active walking, swimming, snorkelling, hiking or just general adventuring in general. Happy to chill too. But ideally I’d like some crew on the more active side. I meditate and do yoga and I’m a positive person I just want to have a fun drama free life.

My boat is 36’ but as it’s a centre cockpit so it feels more like 40+ feet below. Two private cabins with room for more in the salon.

About the boat, the plans, and current crew

usually cleancomfortableshare experiencevisit remote placesseek adventurefulfill a dreamface challengeslive off the grid

I’m a young 44 still a backpacker at heart not willing to grow up I’m living my dream and now a full time cruiser so I’m almost always living onboard. The public route I’ve posted is just for now I’m also planning on sailing to Colombia and across the pacific so let’s keep in touch. I’ll likely be in Panama/Columbia for a year or so before crossing the pacific.

I’m spent a lot of time and money making the boat safe all the rigging is new with new sails and lines. Update to date life raft and life jackets. Starlink internet and Inreach satellite communication device. The hull has been strengthened and all new seacocks installed.

I have a new autopilot and a self steering windvane(hydrovane) to help on long passages this unit will steer on boat on its own.

Working on the interior it’s looking much better but still needs a few touch ups

What is expected of the crew

clean & tidyeasy-goingfit & healthy

I try to to have any expectations in general, life’s easier that way you don’t get disappointed 😂

Having said that it would be nice to have crew with a little experience not essential but a bonus. Also I’d love a backpacker type of person without high expectations and just up for the adventure. Of course I’m open to anyone joining if we get on. Happy to do a video chat in the beginning so we can get to know each other also happy to get some references together if needed.

I know there’s people out there spreading fear about solo sailors I’ve been doing this along time and haven’t heard too many bad stories but they do happen so you need to be safe. Always follow your gut lf something or someone feels off don’t do it my intuition has always lead me in the right direction. When I’ve ignored it that’s when things have gone wrong.
