Prepare a sailing
assignment enquiry.
To prepare a sailing assignment enquiry, gather the boat details, departure and arrival ports, dates and crew information. Explain the role you need and your aim: a yacht delivery, additional crew or a future cruise project. David COLL can then discuss the assignment with you, without an automatic commitment or online booking.
What information should you send for an assignment?
- Describe the boat: model, size and main equipment.
- Give departure and arrival ports and any intended stops.
- Give the dates, duration and flexibility of your schedule.
- Describe the crew and the role you need to fill.
- Explain the aim and any known constraints of the voyage.
Delivery, extra crew or a cruise: which enquiry?
| Project | Aim | First conversation |
|---|---|---|
| Yacht delivery | Bring the boat to a destination port | Route, dates, boat condition and required role |
| Additional crew | Add to the team on board | Crew composition, watches, manoeuvres and duration |
| Cruise project | Plan a future leisure sailing trip | Ideas, participants and timing; no bookings open |
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.
