Description

You are fit and able, probably 25-40, with a love of the sea. You are competent in yacht maintenance with some ocean passage experience. You have sharp eyes and an amiable disposition, but comfortable in your own company, and are confident in your sea legs. English is your first language.

You will be an active crew member, standing your own watch and joining in the various tasks necessary to keep a happy ship at the same time, ideally, as helping with/taking responsibility for maintaining the yacht and its systems.

The boat and skipper/owner has already completed one cruising circumnavigation - the rest of the crew are in their 60's - hence the need for some young blood.

Refit this winter, you could look after the boat from May 2020 but then pretty much full time for 12 months from September 2020.

In terms of "Paid", I mean food etc., airfares, UK medical insurance (subject to eligibility) and some spending money on the way.
