Introduction

Retired and interested in Cruising, Racing and Deliveries.

Fit, strong and mobile. Have RYA Coastal Skipper (Tidal) ticket and RYA Yachtmaster Offshore Skipper. I have done several deliveries around Australia (Coastal and Tasmania), also Coffs Harbour to New Caledonia (2019), Caribbean Sea, Tortola to Panama (2022), Panama Canal (2022) and would love to do some cruising or more deliveries on larger keelboats or Cats. I have sailed over 10,000nm.

Also have open-water dive ticket, MROCP and Coastal Navigation.

Looking to spend time on the water. Fully Vaccinated against Covid 19. Australian Passport.

My motivation and reasons to crew on a boat

Love being out on the water, discovering new places, people and learning more about sailing and cruising. Love being involved in racing and cruising in company in both remote and populated areas.
