I am looking for a competent crew member for a three week sail from Lofoten to Stavanger in Norway, this November. It is likely to be hard work at times, and will include both ocean and coastal passages. Would suit someone with a fair amount of sailing experience who wants to add some serious sailing experience to their repertoire.

I am a Yachtmaster Offshore (ex-instructor) and I am looking for regular (and irregular) crew for weekday, weekend and weeks sailing in my Hanse 348 in the Solent, all points West and across the Channel when allowed. Singles, M or F, are welcome. Contributions to overnight marina costs, victualling and a £15.00/day 'wear & tear amount is all that's required. I tend to go for marinas rather than anchorages. You must enjoy the social aspects of sailing! I am fairly mature so no gung-ho racer types please! A good sense of humour is mandatory and you should enjoy the odd glass of wine or equivalent once alongside of course! All passages will be primarily for social/pleasure cruising rather than racing. You need to have your own waterproofs & life jacket plus a sleeping bag and pillow. Whilst Covid vaccinations and testing will not be mandatory, please be prepared for some serious questioning about your living and working arrangements along with your lifestyle. And vice versa of course! The number of crew (including me) for overnight trips will be limited to three so that everybody can have their own cabin. Please email telling me a little bit about yourself, your experience and your availability. My email address is full.circle348@gmail.com. Or call me on 07785291855. Stephen Ward

We are a live-aboard family looking for crew to explore exotic Caribbean coasts and magical Polynesian islands. We love to sail and to create a fun, familial atmosphere onboard where we all come together as a team to enjoy adventure, good food and the wonders of the ocean. No sailing experience necessary but must love children since we have a 3-year-old boy onboard. Pania is a 54ft sloop with three cabins, three heads, water-maker, autopilot and other amenities. She is perfect for learning what it is like to sail on a larger vessel and for enjoying life aboard with a group of likeminded people. We ask for a contribution towards boat expenses and share all food and fuel costs.

Hi, I'm Mark, owner of classic yacht Halcyon of Eyemouth "H". I've spent the last 4 years restoring H to her former glory. She's a Scottish built all-wood motor-sailer capable of crossing oceans. Halcyon is a very comfortable boat, a liveaboard with all the facilities needed for long distance sailing. The sail rig is all-new, capable of full sail power (engine off) in 10 knots plus of wind. About me...I'm 63, I keep very fit, sporty, slim, vegetarian (you don't have to be) who's getting comfortable with life, people, happy to get up in the mornings and make a full day. I value friendship highly, needed for long passages. I'm gay/bi so you must be open-minded and non-judgmental. I'm looking for a young male crew member who wants to learn all about sailing, join in on every aspect of operating a classic yacht. The position is supported with paid expenses and other financial support where needed. Warmer climates appeal, we can decide together where to head to. Cheers, Mark

Someone who can both talk and listen! Quite happy to teach if required but a sailing companion is more important. Limited to South Coast this year 2021 and boat based on the Dart. Age immaterial, my wife has decided through health not to go boating.

Odalisque is a well equipped and maintained 32ft sailing yacht based at Kip Marina on the Firth of Clyde, 30 miles from Glasgow. I'm retried, have over 40 years sailing experience and sail all year round. I sail mostly on my own but would like some good female company to join me on a regular basis. Also for individual trips and holifays. Expenses incurred on the trips would be shared, food, drink, overnight berthing/mooring fees, fuel etc. Interested, email me on ianb1101@yahoo.co.uk

Looking to have a select few crew to enjoy the boat in the Solent to start with and maybe further afield later. Most of my sailing was in the Med and although I have PYA Coastal I am rusty with tides and getting in and out of the nice places in the Solent. The boat is different from your usual Bavaria's and there is a lot to learn to sail her well. So a good natural trimmer would be good too. There is no expectation to share running costs unless we go far afield. Just food drink and moorings fees. I am not looking for a blockey experience just people who enjoy sailing.

Looking for a female cruising partner who is keen to do 1 week to 3 month trips. Anything from leisurely exploring areas of natural beauty to building miles or working on skills. Might target scuba or kiteboarding locations. But mostly looking to sail, swap stories, enjoy nature and improvise good food. If some grants come through I might be looking for help with some sailboat based ecology research, nothing that pays. I can handle my boat single handed. I do not NEED crew, I do not PAY for crew. But trips are typically far more rewarding with companionship and conversation. Not a racer boat. Not a richy yuppie boat (or owner). No wine glasses. No bow thruster. No gen-set. No in-mast-furling. No foam cored hull. No hot water aside from a motor heated sprayer. No pressurized water. No or infrequent use of marinas and shore power. No or limited urban tourism or expensive restaurants in developed countries. So if you are looking for that type of trip I am not your boat. Boat is built for safety and longevity. Salty with lots of teak and bronze. If you are unfamiliar with the pros and cons of heavy displacement solid GRP full keel single hull sailing vessels (design changed little for a hundred years) relative to the light displacement fin keel foam cored 'benetueau' style boats and catamarans (surprisingly en vouge since the early 2000s) please message me. Aeronautical engineering is a hobby of mine and I happy to chat about it or suggest some great books. With a 27' water line hull speed is slow. But, hull speed is obtainable with only light winds if crew is willing to think. It is rare that I use the motor aside from setting the anchor. I prefer quiet secluded anchorages of natural beauty. I prefer restocking in small towns and like struggling with local languages. I prefer enjoying nature over urban trips, but if in a foreign country, urban can be enlightening. I like to combine sailing with active outdoor recreation pursuits, a great first topic of correspondence. Nekton, the boat, and I hope you like the same. Owner does not speak in 3rd person but is having a hard time writing this without starting ever sentence with personal pronouns or pretending that the boat is a person.... so... Owner is a well educated and well published scientist with extensive boating and outdoor recreation experience. Very safety conscious. Liberal political leaning but not judgmental. Owner is vegetarian who eats fish when on the ocean, but that is not a requirement. Owner does not smoke or use drugs. Smoking and drugs are not allowed on board. Owner does not drink (even on land) but I am fine with crew drinking ethanol when not underway in bad weather, when of legal age in the country of visitation, and if safe about it. Owner is not rich (his PhD is in ecology). Originally I found summers sailing in Alaska to be rewarding and stunning and well worth the logistical effort. At this time I have a job that I love which keeps me busy May-Nov. So, summer sailing (northern hemisphere) is limited to short coastal trips. Long vacations (1 week to multi month) in the Dec-May seasons will be available for the next few years rotating through: Sea of Cortez, Fl+Bahamas+Cuba. I am in the middle of a large refit. Due to COVID closures, I bit off more than I should have when I saw the pandemic as a great excuse to overhaul the boat (In hindsight, I should have caught up on writing). So, she will not be sailing until Oct 2021 or later. I am happy to hear from people who might be a good fit in the years to come, even if not ready soon. There needs to be lots of trust built so I am willing to meet numerous times or plan coastal trips at first until a safe dynamic is found. (5 to 8 year long range plans likely include returning to Patagonia or Alaska, or hopping Caribbean). Any experience level is okay. More experience allows for more intense trips, but I also like slowing down and making an enriching educational experience for others. Interested in slow paced or fast paced recreation or even training weeks to practice skills. Interested in both platonic or romantic dynamics. Possibly interested in academic collaborations. All of these are great topics for correspondence.
