Experienced sailor available for deliveries Fall 2024. Especially 50+ ton and offshore for sea time.

Update: May 2024 Delivery Camper and Nicholson 120' super yacht St. Martin to Halifax, NS. Nov 2023 TransAtlantic crossing on a Swan 68 from Canary Islands to St Lucia 2500 miles. Summer 2023 cruising in Greece two weeks on a Jeanneau 49 and two on a Pearson 53 ketch.

Hi - Lifelong sailor with lots of keel boat and dinghy racing experience. Currently a Sailing Instructor in NYC and doing deliveries as well. Working on my USCG Masters License so I'm looking for sea time on any boats more then 50 tons. Professional, team player and problem solver who doesn't get rattled or seasick when the seas are rough.
Grew up sailing and worked in a New Jersey shore boat dealer/ store selling and servicing up to 40' cruisers (Beneteau, Hunter, Catalina, O'Day) down to Optis/ Lasers. Delivered 30' boats from NJ to Annapolis, Newport and up the Hudson River. Crewed on a Hylas 56 From Norfolk, VA to Fort Lauderdale 880NM all offshore Then Norfolk to Halifax, NS direct and on to Quebec City (another 1500 miles). Did New York to Bermuda years ago . Owned my own boat for 15 years plus raced for 10 years.

I can navigate, weather route, night watch, trim sails, tune rigs and fix about anything on a boat (fiberglass, electrical, motor, rigging, sails, etc.). I am a sailing instructor NauticED SLC (equivalent to ICC), have International Offshore Safety at Sea certification and working on my USCG Master Captain's License.

Looking for interesting passages especially trans Atlantic. East coast USA is easier but open to other interesting passages or deliveries.
