22 year old Australian/Irish passport holder looking for a delivery out of Cape Town (looking for experience and sea miles) and as I am living in Cape Town for the next few months I would love to crew on any boats at any time (with notice). I have completed my competent crew course in Langebaan (120+ miles), waiting to begin my STCW95.   I am a builder by trade and have much experience working with timber, painting, varnishing and maintaining diesel engines. I am fit, enthusiastic and have a good practical mind.

Living a dream! This 36 year old Dutch girl has been travelling Africa for the past 8 months in order to shorten the bucket list. Now it's time to go back home, but still one dream has to be realised: To sail back home!
I know I'm still a rookie at sailing, but am willing to learn and work for it. In preparation to this coming sailing experience I successfully completed my Competence Crew and STCW!95 course. Who is sailing to Europe/Caribbean in the next coming weeks and is willing to take me along for free as a crew member and teach me?

Over the past 5 years, I have travelled across 30 countries using any and all means neccessary, from Mongolian Winters to Libya in March to cover the Revolution. I am strongly motivated, hard working and easy to get along with. I have no sailing experience but I can learn fast. My dedication to others and willingness to accept any challenge are an asset. I am a fast learner, and would like to try my hand at any and everything. I hold an American Red cross First Aid and Life Saving certficate, as well as an advanced open water diving accreditation. I would also be willing to offer my experience with a camera to document the journey, for any purpose whether it be private or commercial.

I would welcome some retired embers of RCYC who would like to sail now and then during the week on nice days. I have become a bit ancient now and take a bit of strain when sailing alone. I would prefer someone who knows a little bit about sailing. My vessel is a Muira, in pretty good shape and easy to sail. I hold a Yacht master offshore ticket, so I am reasonably competent to take people out into the bay.   Jan 2012

Our yacht has over-wintered in the new Alanya Marina in South East Turkey and we highly recommend the marina to cruisers in the eastern Med. The facilities are all brand new, the staff are competent & friendly and the rates favourable.
