Hi
I’m Keith, a recent high
school graduate (17 years old) and
current dinghy sailing instructor. I have elected to take a gap year between high
school and university to travel and sail. I am looking for a crew position with a seasoned
captain; someone that can show me the ropes to
offshore sailing with a solid
boat. I’m very comfortable trimming
sails,
steering, and everything else to do on small boats but I don’t have any
offshore experience. I’m eager to learn and I take directions well.
I did very well in high school. I graduated on the honor roll with distinction as well as receiving many other awards. I was heavily involved in the
music program as well as other sports and clubs. I have had many paid and volunteer positions over the last few years. I could have gone straight to university, but I’d rather travel and find out what it is I really want with my life first.
I am comfortable with the sleep schedule required for watch duty. I’m an early riser by nature. I also enjoy
cooking (I’m not amazing, but I enjoy it). I’m healthy, athletic, fit, good eyesight, and I don’t have any allergies except for cats.
I am currently committed to coaching sailing in
Vancouver, BC so I am unavailable until Labour Day weekend (August 30th). After that, I’m hoping to set sail off the
West coast of
Canada or the United States starting in September or later. Once we've left, the more places we go the better.
Basically, I’m a well-rounded High school graduate who really wants to go sailing. I’ll share the
work load, do some
cooking, and follow orders.
If you would like to know more about me or are interested in me as a crew feel free to PM me. I have a resume and
references available.
