SWAN 51 Paying Crew Opportunity for OGR.

[Admin]

There are many ways to crew in the OGR. Some teams are crewed by family and friends, others are open to volunteers who join on merit and are funded fully by that team or their sponsors. There are some who have formed a co-operative, five people fully fund the campaign, buy the boat as equal shareholders, have an extra five paying crew for operating costs and after the race sell the boat to an OGR 2027 entrant, returning the capital to the original shareholders. Currently there are over 700 sailors hoping to crew in the OGR and most spots are already taken. We are now forming what may be one of the last "open" crew opportunities in the OGR. If you are ready to fully support your way as an enthusiastic contributing crew in the OGR, do not smoke, are relatively fit and healthy with a fun can do attitude, minimum 2000 ocean sailing miles, or prepared to get it, have read the NOR cover to cover and do not want to be a passenger, then maybe this is your opportunity. If successful you would join an experienced team and operator with nearly 30 years sailing expedition experience. Crew consist of Skipper, Mate and eight paying crew, (two watch leaders and six crew).Cost vary but up to Euro 9000 per leg. If you are under 23 it may be Free? or Euro$2400. The yacht has four twin cabins and settee berth plus pipe cot above. There are only three full circumnavigating berths and two leg berths for each of the four legs left. The Campaign website will officially open in October. If you are passionate you could jump the que? Up for it? tell us below briefly Who you are? What you do? and why you cannot sleep thinking about this leg or Circumnavigation? and we will message you, or wait for the website. and apply but .....? passion gets you everywhere and now is the hour...good luck.

Oh! Jumping queues! That's not very English ;-) Though I'm Dutch, and not unfamiliar with it.

I am super keen and love the idea to still have a chance to join a boat for the OGR. In April I did a qualifying sail for an OGR spot on a yacht from Antigua to the Azores. It went pretty well, though unfortunately the owner took the boat out of the race.😔
So here I am, left with that Southern Ocean itch to scratch and as such I'd be super interested in joining, especially the leg between AUS/NZ to South America.
I'm easy going, keen(!), full of beans, upbeat and like being part of it all. I've not suffered any seasickness 🤢.
In 2019 I did a Fastnet campaign on a Bavaria 38, and for one of the races we won bronze! Only because most yachts retired due to the heavy weather though ;-) I also own a bright orange Dragonfly 28 sport and sailed many miles, in varying weather, on her over the last 4.5 years.
Job wise, I work for myself, I am a Programme Manager in Network Infrastructure. I play hockey, and love it! I bike (road, not mountain, yet). Love cooking, anywhere.
If you like references of the OGR qualifying sail I did, please let me know and I can provide the Skipper and First Mate's contact details.
Here is to me hoping!
Kind regards,
Sabine

PS if you are in need of a crew for a Fastnet race, ever, I'd be keen. I didn't get to round the rock in 2019 as such it's another itch, you see?
