Recently moved back to QLD after 17 years in VIC. Keen to get my sailing chops sharpened. Intend to purchase a boat and circumnavigate Australia in a couple of years. Just turned 51, two teenagers and an amazing wife who is also a Crew Member and excellent at the helm. We love sailing together with nice people and the odd glass of red.

Availability: Weekends.
Preferred Crew Position: Sail trimming. Although I have never flown a Spinnaker.
Crewing Experience: Lots of inland sailing experience when I was young (South Africa). Sailed in Melbourne Bay, Sydney Harbour, Whitsunday Islands (Skipper). I have done a couple of races in the past.
