Hi all, ( please go to Website:
Furaha Caribbean Blue Explorer for my homepage )
For the last 8 years, I have been working on boats, and have owned 3. First a 24-footer, then the 30-footer "Lutine", and most recently I have a
trimaran of 39-foot. With these boats I've been across the Atlantic several times and cruised
South America, the
Caribbean and islands off the coast of
Africa. The South coast of
England is one of my favorite areas, but I love the East and West coasts of
Sweden too - but only in summertime!
Sailing is great, and it is at it's best when one can share the experience, although I have sailed across the Atlantic single-handed too, and loved it!
The last 4 years I have worked with my partner from Austria. She is a sailing instructor and a great person to have on board any
boat. Unfortunately she is busy at the moment and cannot undertake any voyaging. We manage yacht deliveries,
charter yachts and are a great team. I skippered, with her as mate, a 60 foot
Volvo Ocean
Racing yacht in
South Africa,
Brazil,
Ireland,
England,
Sweden,
Norway and
Germany during 2009.
I'm willing to do
maintenance work on yachts too... So if you need good experienced help or
advice in a
refit or voyage preparation I am available.
(I have good skills with fiberglass/epoxy, painting, varnishing but also have a very keen understanding of
electrical systems and auxiliary engines. I have worked in England,
Martinique and
Slovenia as a rigger)
Food and
galley is my other home ground and I am a very apt and willing ships-cook.
I have a US B1/B2 visa.
Yachtmaster
offshore certificate, and
celestial navigation
STCW '95 Firefighting, Sea Survival, First Aid.
VHF radio license,
diesel engine maintenance and a UK driving
license
upward 85.000 miles logged, and 9 transats.
I usually require: travel to/from yacht, room and board for the duration.
I am open to all sorts of ideas so get in touch via forum if you think I can help.
