Hi everyone! I'm putting out a general notice that I'm interested in and available for positions as
delivery crew. I'm based in Norfolk, VA on the
East Coast of the US.
I'm a 22-year-old woman, have been sailing,
racing, and instructing everything from dinghies to schooners to gaff-rigged wooden ketches to brand-new
fiberglass cruisers for over 15 years (I started very young), have been a professional
deckhand for 2 seasons, and am the owner of a 30-foot
steel sailboat that I completely restored and
refit myself in 2020 and captained from
Annapolis, MD to
Florida and back in 2021.
I am ideally looking for paid positions, even if only modestly, but am open to any offers that will help me build mileage. I am also ideally looking for positions around the
East Coast and Atlantic to start out, but would potentially be open to straying farther afield if the circumstances are right.
My boyfriend (also 22), who has also been sailing for several years now, is an
electrical engineer for the
Navy and we would love to do deliveries together if anyone is interested in 2 crew that already
work well together. His
work schedule is significantly less flexible, though.
DM me if interested, I am more than happy to send along a sailing resume and references!
