Comments: French, 24yo, 175cm, 68kg, sailor and engineer. Dear boat captains, I'm looking for a boat for deliveries and regattas. I have been sailing for over 10 years on boats for fun and for competition, while combining studies, internships and work. I have sailed on a wide range of boats : with and without foils, from dinghies to monohulls and catamarans, from 16 to 64ft, for pleasure and for racing (Local, National & European championships). I'm currently working as an engineer in a shipyard that builds high-performance luxury catamarans, so I'm at ease in the fields of composites, hardware and systems. I'm confident that my passion and long experience on the water (MY & SY) will make me a useful addition to the crew. I'm reliable and always eager to learn and improve my skills as a sailor. I am an easy-going, sociable person and work well individually and as part of a team. I will be happy to send you my sailing CV. Thank you, Loïc WhatsApp : +33 7 82 36 30 48 Email : loic.mz@hotmail.fr

Comments: Seasoned racing sailor (34 years old) seeking a spot as crew! My nautical journey began on tiny optimists, then I graduated on lasers and later I took on the challenge of sailing international 14. Recently, I sailed from Miami to the Dominican Republic aboard a timeless Ted Brewer 45 (1984). Next stop: a month-long trip to St. Maartin on a magnificent 62 foot high-performance catamaran from Melbourne Morelli (Marla Conducta). My skills encompass helming, rigging, trimming, and tactics. I hold accuracy, endurance, and clear communication in high regard and relish the opportunity to get my hands dirty in order to keep our sailing vessel in pristine condition. While fast boats hold a special place in my heart, I hold deep respect and admiration for all sailboats, regardless of their age or speed. If you seek a passionate and experienced racing sailor, I would be thrilled to join your crew.

Barefoot Yachts - "Gone" - C&C30
Contact: 17844569334 - philip@barefootyachts.com
Comments: Charter our C&C 30 Gone and experience one of the iconic Caribbean regattas on a true weapon. A product of the drawing board of veteran naval architect Mark Mills, the C&C 30 is billed as a mini TP52, and it feels like just that—from the wide open, crew-friendly cockpit to the offset companionway to port and the single offset battery of clutches to starboard for controlling halyards and other sail controls.

Constructed in cored, infused vinylester and E-glass, with carbon in frames and other structural members, the boat is tremendously stiff and light. The bowsprit is fixed with a bobstay—a necessity for Code 0s and BROs with their substantial luff loads. She is sailed with a crew of 7 to 8 and is carries asymmetrical spinnakers which are gybed from the cockpit. The spinnaker is doused by a string retrieval system, down the foredeck hatch, which runs the length of the yacht below deck.

Ultimately, modern sailboats are the stuff of dreams, waterborne works of art that serve to transport (figuratively as well as literally) and delight—and it would be hard to find a better or more exciting dream than the C&C 30

Contact: 17844569443 - Philip@barefootyachts.com
Comments: Charter our Melges 32 Farm Truck and experience one of the iconic Caribbean regattas on this winner. The Melges 32 was designed by Reichel/Pugh Yacht Design and added to the Melges line of performance products in 2005, A lean-and-mean, super-sleek hull provides a spacious cockpit and clean deck layout. Its large, powerful sail plan makes it a blast downwind and seriously fast upwind.

This, originally, one-design sailboat has taken the racing world by storm since its inception. Because of its popularity, this light-weight racer is raced in regattas around the Caribbean and is one of the best boats you can charter if you want to win in the islands.
