NOTICES for Boats and Crew opportunities

Hello Sailors,

I do look for crew to get our fleet moving.

We will first start sail training around the Cape Verde Islands, then go to the Gambia and sail down to Sao Tome e Principe.

I look for long term crew, sailors that like the idea of van independent entity in the form of a nomadic fleet.

We have a lot of space and need many crew. Also it is possible when we start sailing down the coast of West Africa and later around to the East coast for others to join our fleet with their own boats.

I expect everyone to share the living costs (which I calculate be max $300 for food and fuel per month), as we only fish we only need to buy vegetables, fruits, rice, etc...

Please get in touch.

Unpaid Crew Wanted for Voyage from San Diego, CA to Hilo, HI and/or return Spring/Summer 2025
Depending on schedules and weather, we plan to leave between April 1 and April 15. The passage could be approximately 21 days, and we will probably spend a week or so in Hilo before returning.

I have two crew members for the passage to Hawaii. Charles is a friend of 30 years that I have sailed small boats with. He intends to join me for at least the West bound trip. Katie, my daughter is learning to sail and looking forward to the adventure. She plans to sail both to Hawaii and the return to San Diego.

My daughter would be more comfortable with another female crew member. We are liberal minded and pretty easy going. We are looking for an additional sailor, non-smoker, CA or other state Boaters Card, not prone to sea sickness, blue water experience preferred.

Returning from Hawaii is a must, passage to Hawaii may be possible. We will share sailing, watches, cooking, cleaning, choices of music on wireless speakers, fishing, and the joy of blue water cruising.

Safety is a top priority, including life vests and harnesses to a jackline whilst out of the cockpit. You should have foul weather gear and deck boots for unexpected weather. Most of the trip will be in shorts and t-shirts, or swimsuits, but deck shoes are required when out of the cockpit. Also, a couple of sun hats and pairs of sunglasses with cords.
We will also adhere to environmental guidelines regarding pollution.
We look forward to meeting you. Applicants will e-meet with the three of us to assess experience and compatibility.

Apart from a beautiful boat [1 of only 25 ever made] that has sailed thousands of nautical miles and been through the toughest of seas, we have a captain that has sailed the oceans for over 50 years. Oh, we also have great food from around the world and if you’re a musician we’ve got a few guitars and enjoy a jam now and again.

Chose what week or weeks you would like to sail along the outstanding coastline of Panama and Costa Rica with its natural beauty.

The itinerary is up to you. You can surf in the best spots, learn to sail, or just relax, watch whales and dolphins, swim/snorkel in secluded crystal clear waters. How about a trek inland to see the amazing wildlife. It's totally up to you!

Get in touch and let's have a chat.

All the best, Captain Stephen
