Crew Wanted: Sail the Baltic Sea 2012

[nabhansson]

I intend to sail my Mariner 36 sloop from southern Sweden to Helsinki Finland. I have allowed one month and planned to start mid May 2012. I am seeking the assistance of a competent crew. I have no fixed "port of calls". A proposed sail could be Bornholm - Christiansoe - Gdansk - Gotland - East Coast of Sweden - Estonia. All cost onboard is mine and the crew will pay for his/her travel and "of the boat" expences.
This is not a paid crew position.

Hi

Im very interested in your planned cruise, heres a bit about me.

I'm:
male, 23years old, irish, sailor, scuba diver, rock climber, paddler, mechanical engineer, biker, tinkerer/mechanic

I'm pretty much just finished college and looking to get some serious miles under my belt!
my sailing experience is as follows; started sailing 13 years ago,
Ive been a sailing instructor for the last 6 years(during the summer months), Have worked as a "boatman" in a few local clubs; ferrying, antifouling, taking boats out of the water ect
I have a little under 1000 sea miles from STV Asgard 2 (which is now at the bottom of the bay of biscay...wasnt my fault honest) and from sailing friends boats from ireland to france.

So not a whole lot of cruising experience at all, but i certainly know the difference from one end of the boat to the other.

I would also consider myself easy going, enthusiastic (about all things boat related anyway), pretty good at trouble shooting/fixing things/knowledgeable of boats, rigging and engines.

So that's pretty much it i think

cheers!
