Need crew for a 80 fot Maxi sailing Nz, Southamerica, scandinavia

[wild]

The yacht is a 1985 80' Maxi racing yacht and designed to sail fast in all conditions around the globe. She is a real sailing yacht and we like having the engine off. The interior of the yacht is open plan with cabins aft and dorm style accommodation amidships. We plan to depart New Zealand in early December and sail to Ushuaia (Argentina). We will spend around 2 months based in Ushuaia and will run some trips to the Antarctic Peninsula. During that time people are free to head off and explore Argentina and Chile or join us heading further South. We will then sail on up the East Coast of South America and eventually make our way across the Atlantic to Europe. Last year we sailed the boat 7000 miles from Seattle USA to New Zealand and really learned how well this yacht handles the ocean, she is a pleasure to be on in any sea.

We are looking for enthusiastic and adventurous people to join us on our journey. Our itinerary is very open and we make the most of exploring. The boat is a real manual sailing yacht where everyone is involved in the sailing so a keen appetite for learning about sailing is invited and no prior sailing experience is needed. People joining us contribute €25 per day towards food, fuel and harbour expenses. Minimum stay length is 1 month and if this all sounds interesting we will hear from you very soon.
