Nadia Punselie
If it’s a good crew I don’t mind starting at the bottom, packing sails and spinnakers as I’m a lightweight and will not bounce the yacht around too much. Would love a permanent position as a bowman on a competitive yacht for both inshore and offshore. Can make time and commit to the right team (I’m running solo, no family or kids). I’m fit and can be your little pocket rocket all rounder.

Preferred Crew Position: | I am flexible and can learn the ropes quickly having sailed on quite a few types of boats and yachts |
Weight: | 67 |
Crewing Experience: | I started sailing back in late 1990s in Asia and cut my teeth on Laser and International 420s. I crewed an Ericson 24 for a year from Singapore to nearby Indonesian Island. I then crewed a Beneteau 30 from Singapore to Phuket. The Beneteau was racing in Phuket for a week. On the way back, we left port before we heard about the Monsoon that would hit and spent the next two days at sea riding out a massive storm (pre GPS and Epirb). We then had to berth under sail with only 3 of us on board at Port Klang when our diesel engine died. We made it back to Singapore. That was in the late 90s. Between 2000 to 2007, I crewed J Boats and other classes of mid size boats at weekly races at Lake Arthur near Pittsburgh in Pennsylvannia. I crewed a 50 footer in the Chesapeake Bay and a Nacra A Class in Newport, Rhode Island. Back in Australia since 2007, I was not able to sail for a while due to work commitments which required frequent travels. In 2017, I crewed in Croatia for a week, island hoping. I picked up sailing seriously again in 2022, volunteered as a crew for WAGS. On my second WAGS, I was placed with Winds of Change and has sailed with her since then. Winds of Change has recently stopped participating in WAGS. We last sailed her in Nov 2022. I am keen to be an active regular crew on a boat that sails regularly on WAGS. |
