Volunteer Crew Required. North Spain to Sweden.
Posted July 30th, 2012 - 7:23 pm by from Weston-super-Mare, England (Permalink)
I am looking for volunteer crew.

This is for a delivery from the North Spain (Nearest Airport Santiago de Compostela) to Sweden (Stockholm). The yacht is a Baltic 43.
You must be prepared to arrive at the boat as soon as possible.

The duration can obviously be effected by a number of factors usually a delivery of this nature should take around 12 to 14 days, this an estimate so please include a reasonable contingency factor in planning.

All flight expenses and, along with reasonable travel expenses, will be reimbursed upon successful completion of the delivery. A partial completion of the delivery will not be eligible for travel expenses unless agreed with in advance for example; when joining the boat part way through the delivery.

Crew must be able to stand a watch but mile builders and those wish to expand their experience are very welcome. A working knowledge of COLREGS is essential.
There may also be an additional position for a lesser qualified person, but they may have to pay their own expenses. Please contact me for details.

All on board expenses and berthing fees are included.

If you are interested then please contact me as soon as possible. When replying please can you provide the following information:

Do you have any dietary constraints.
A sailing C.V. or brief resumee of qualifications and experience.

You will need your own waterproofs and life jacket. Although a life-jacket may be made available. Please let me know. I don't have a full inventory of the boat yet.

My aim is to make every delivery a safe enjoyable and rewarding experience. Please remember that there will be time constraints and that the delivery includes preparing the boat for the passage and preparing the boat for handover to the client.

I look forward to hearing from you shortly.
