Do you need a confirmed departure date?

An approximate period is enough to start the conversation. Explain what is flexible and what is not. Getting in touch does not confirm availability or a departure: timing and conditions are discussed for each project.

How can you check the skills you need?

Read the CV and qualifications to distinguish experience, certificates obtained and training in preparation. Explain the role you need to fill; David can clarify his experience and provide information to help your decision. This guide does not replace checking the requirements applicable to your boat and assignment.

What happens after you get in touch?

You speak directly with David about the boat, the project and his role aboard. The form simply prepares an email for you to send through your own email application. No contract, payment or sailing assignment is confirmed automatically.
