Looking for a position as Competent Crew.
Hi - I'm interested in finding a position as Competent Crew during the period Feb, Mar, Apr 2025. I have varied sailing experience, racing small sail boats, yachting, and professionally as Master of a square rigger, but much of that was several years ago. At that time, I navigated using paper charts. In 2022 I navigated for 3 weeks aboard a 40 ' monohull Brisbane to Cairns and was initiated into E charts. So easy! After that trip I was one of three crew for 2 months cruising and delivering a 15m cat from Tahiti to NZ, and shortly after that I assisted in delivery of a 58ft Leopard cat from Vanuatu to Cairns. In Aug 23 I sailed Mackay - Townsville ( via various reefs) aboard a 50 foot mono. In Nov 23 I crewed aboard a Beneteau 461 for 3 weeks Cairns/Lizard Is/Flinders Group/ Cairns inside the Barrier Reef. Feb 2024 saw me crewing aboard a motor cruiser in Raja Amphat Indonesia. I am really enjoying what Crewbay has to offer. I am a fit young-at-heart 64 yo. Retirement means I can be quite flexible with time. I don’t get seasick. I can cook and I am tidy aboard ship. I don’t smoke and enjoy an ale in harbour or at anchor. I believe I can be of value and fit in with all ages for good times. I love fishing and diving. I am based on the east coast of Australia (NSW south coast) and of course am happy to fly where necessary to join a yacht, in particular warm places thereabouts. Thanks.

Excellent crew.
Niel sailed with me for over 3 weeks from Cairns, lizard Island, the Flinders island and back to Cairns. He is excellent on the boat, has good experience sailing as well as a keen fisherman. He is cool in testing conditions and very keen to be involved. Neil was great company, has a few good stories with a few laughs. I highly recommend Neil to anyone and I'd have him back on my boat anytime.
