I need to gain experience of
ocean crossing because I own a Nordhavn 40
motor yacht which I want to
cruise from UK to
USA via
Caribbean in 2018 and the insurers need me to have ocean experience before they will let me
skipper my
boat on a transatlantic
passage. I am therefore looking for a position as volunteer crew on a
motor yacht for an
ocean crossing, Atlantic either direction or whatever else is available.
I am 65, healthy & fit, sane and sober. I hold a British passport with no undesirable country stamps &
current ESTA. I have no criminal
record in any country.
I have RYA Day
Skipper and
ICC, basic
maintenance and fault-finding skills on
diesel engines and motor yacht
equipment, and good situation awareness and anticipation skills. I can prepare basic
meals but sadly I am not what you would call a good cook. I can provide good
references and will ask for them in return.
Contact me via PM on this site in the first instance please.
Michael
