Crew Wanted - 55 Cat - Faro to Kiel

[BrendanChandler]

I am arranging crew for the delivery of an Outremer 55ft Catamaran from Faro to Kiel in the Baltic, via the Kiel Canal. I believe that the trip will take between 2 and 3 weeks.
The departure date from Faro will be about 4th August 2010. I am joining the boat in the Balaerics on Wednesday.
All crew member must be willing to stand a watch, take turns cooking, washing up, boat maintenance etc.
Knowledge of the Collision Regulations (Rules of the Road) on arrival is compulsory.
A contribution towards provisioning etc will be required.
If you are available and the trip appeals to you, please come back to me.
Details of the boat are available on

Wot you pay him

 

[Roissy]

Yes that's what he wanted last time I offerred to help with an Azores to Stockholm trip unfortunately it was cancelled at a later date

 

[scej]

its a bit off to have to pay to go on what for him is obviously a paying trip where crew fees and expenses should be covered. any time i need crew they get paid a fee and ALL exes are covered

So he gets paid for the job, makes about £15 a day out of each crew member - sound like the boat needs to be in Code and insured for paying crew - more like a charter boat. A few legal issues here maybe......... and does the skipper have professional liability insurance?

 

[scej]

I think edsail is right this could sound more like a fee paying trip in which case regardless of how much you pay the OP it becomes a charter and the boat therefore needs to be coded and insured as such, also the skipper should be qualified as laid down by MCA.

No David,
This was a free trip, no contribution requested from any of the crew.

I am fully crewed and on route, so thank you all for your interest.

Some folk are sailing in the sun and some are at home complaining.

Fair winds and following seas to all.

Hmmmm!!!

"Commercial yachtmaster (RYA + DTI)"
Could anyone explain the difference to me please.
I would also be interested to know how long the DTI have been awarding yachtmaster tickets. Had a quick look on the DTI.gov website but nothing to be found ! (even tried the search thingy) ???
Any info would be greatly appreciated.

 

[Pro Skipper]

Really Mr C, I would like to know what your actual qualification is.

 

[lenseman]

"Commercial yachtmaster (RYA + DTI)"
Could anyone explain the difference to me please. . . . . .

I will explain the difference to you.

When it states RYA qualified, it refers to a sailing qualification, Yachtmaster Day-Skipper, Competent Crew, etc.

When it says DTI, it refers to a radio qualification. ie VHF or LRC. It is an old expression from an earlier time and probably should now be Ofcom certified.

 

[Pro Skipper]

With all due respect Lenseman, I think you have completely missed my point !!!

I may be wrong..BUT i think the yachtmaster is as is describes. This however is not a commercial ticket. It can be upgraded to commercial (the dti) by passing a medical and a sea survival course. The medical must be retaken at set periods. You could operate a ferry only if your ym offshore was commercially endorsed .

Anyway,it`s not the bit of paper it`s the attitude,and a relatively inexperienced skipper can`t go too far wrong by following the passage planning suggestions which are even printed in Reed`s.
On the other hand,even being extra super master time lord of the starship enterprise USS Sarah Palin carrier group (commercial) doesn`t make you capable of drawing a line on the chart which don`t put me through the middle of Thanet wind farm does it BRENDAN?
Outremer55 goes like a robber`s dog by the way,we had one hull out of the water all night while you were asleep 15 knots ha ha Jerry. Ha ha in general thanks for reminding me that trip was a laugh,top crew,anyone in Shetland reading this?
