I Am in Palma de Mallorca Looking to Crew Across Atlantic

webby1984 · 05-11-2009, 13:16

Hi I am new to sailing and am looking to cross the Atlantic from Palma (currently there). I have joined most of the agencies over here but as I have little experience I am not having much luck. I am willing to work for free and am a very fast learner. If you are interested drop me a line. My basics are 25 year old male, UK citizen (Devon), university educated, I am an able cook willing to put my hand to anything.

I think you have better luck by looking in the canaries where most boats departure from.

Palma is a great spot to be

Thats where all the agencies are.

There is one great way.... hull knocking! Just pluck up the courage and go hull knocking! ask who has need of crew

You may knock on 100 hulls, but there far more than 100 boats there

Good luck

Good luck Webby. If I were in your area and in need of crew you'd be aboard right now. I hate to cook.
regards,
