Personal Profile

​

I lived in Cornwall and have been for the last 6 years and loving being surrounded by the sea I decided to invest in training for a career onboard.  I completed a Sailing Competent Crew course in Portugal, which was a great experience and thoroughly enjoyed. In Cornwall I started new hobbies of surfing and paddle boarding which is also a great way of networking and meeting new friends. 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.

Sailing Competent Crew | RUsailing | May 2017 

Crew Training | UKSA | October 2023 

RYA Tender Operator | UKSA | October 2023

​

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

 

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, and 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. 

​

I have experience on sailing boats as my father is a day skipper and have been sailed off Antigua and Barbuda for 12 days (2017) and Croatia for 10 days (2021), with my Dad and Brother, they are by far the best holidays I’ve been on, either mooring up or anchoring each afternoon and sailing again the next day.
