Personal Profile

Having lived in Cornwall for the last 5 years and being surrounded by the sea I decided to invest in training for a career onboard. Whilst there I started new hobbies like surfing and networking with people. I am a hard-working individual who is eager to enter the yachting industry as a deckhand. I’m the sort of person who enjoys a challenge and achieving goals to the best of my abilities. I am enthusiastic to continue to learn new skills, expand my knowledge and develop my career.

Maritime Experience

Crew Training | UKSA | October 2023

RYA Tender Operator | UKSA | October 2023

Sailing Competent Crew | RUsailing | May 2017

Crew Training – This 3-week course included crew training deck work, look out and watch duties, tender duties and safety procedures.

Vessel care maintenance, basic repairs, cleaning.

RYA Tender Operator - In this course we covered passenger safety, day and night pilotage, emergency situations, equipment/vessel types and situation appraisal. I enjoyed going out at night as I found it very interesting identifying vessels and buoys by lights.

Sailing Competent Crew - We went through knowledge of sea terms and parts of a boat, rigging and sails, sail handling and rope work. I was lucky enough to do the course in Portugal and loved sailing for the day and arriving in new places.

I have a little experience on sailing boats as my father is a day skipper and have luckily been able to sail around Antigua for 12 days (2017) and Croatia for 10 days (2021) and they are by far the best holidays I’ve been on.

Hobbies & Interests

I am a very active person and like the outdoors no matter the weather. When living in Cornwall I enjoyed going on long coastal walks, surfing, paddleboarding and exploring new places. I’m the type of person who loves going to the beach and play frisbee or rounders with a group of friends and watch the sunset. A hobby of mine is photography, so I'm always that person taking lots of photos of my surroundings, not only with a phone, but also with film cameras as well.
