Hi Quillan, Yes, the opportunity is still available. Where do you live? Do you have the visas needed? U.S. citizens do not need visas. What is your experience level? Please send me a short cv with sailing experience and courses done. I hope we can make it work for both of us. What are your plans after we arrive in Portugal? Please let me know at your earliest convenience.

Hello Bluemarine,
I am in the market for a Leopard, and the opportunity to crew on your boat would be great. I have much experience and all the certifications... and am looking to build sailing days for my Catp license. Unfortunately, the dates of this passage don't work for me... so, Keep me in mind for future opportunities, or, if your dates slip, let me know!
