Description
Crew wanted for this trip. ~400M, under sail.
Friendly experienced skipper, fast, sea-kindly and well found Norwegian double-ender.
If you are qualified, confident and able to hand, reef and steer a 12-ton gaff cutter as a member of a watch system, across the N Sea, for a few days, in up to a F5, gusting 6 if favourable, please enquire. It's not a crossing for beginners and I'm not offering a lifestyle experience or running a sailing school, so you will know if this is for you, or not.
Engine will not be used on this voyage.
No problems occurred (apart from a seasick crew) during 3 recent days in the Skagerrak, including beating into a SW5 and ghosting in zero wind amongst rocks.
Looking to leave Norway end of June/start of July.
Kristiansand is served by low cost airlines.
