Ahoy, sailors
I’m 29y old adventurous, free-spirit type of Estonian male and I’m new in this but I’m excited to learn sailing through experience and willing to help with everything. I’m available the whole January

WOW there’s a lot of people looking for a crew here.
My name’s Bree, worked and lived on Hamilton Island for 4 years, have attended HI Race Week for 7 years in a row and raced for 3 years on a Volvo 60.
Was secretary of Hamilton Island Yacht Club for a season and women’s champion of the ladies comp skippering a Sunmaid. Competed in twilight races every Wednesday for 3 years.
Sounds like a lot of experience now that write it down – truth be told I would NOT consider myself an expert, however I sure am great at taking direction, understanding the water & wind and doing as I’m told with a big smile.
Be interested in joining a crew or being tested out if you believe I’m a good fit.
37, female, Aussie … and missing the water! 🙂
