About Me
Jessie Beham jessiebeham@gmail.com / +44 7759 068515
I’m Jessie, British / Austrian, London-based, 35 years old. I’ve taken some time out from my career in government to get out on the water and give my sailing a boost. After many years of holidays spent crewing with skipper friends, I’ve just completed the RYA Day Skipper course and am looking for an opportunity to join a longer trip to practise my skills, gain confidence, make the most of my time off work, and enjoy an adventure.
What I’m looking for
-
An opportunity to join a boat as crew between mid-October to end December 2023
-
Open to any location, especially where it’s warm! Happy to fly anywhere for the right opportunity, preferably for a minimum of 3- 4 weeks sailing. Sailing to NZ from Fiji or nearby, or around NZ, would be brilliant.
-
An option to include a longer passage- eg. transatlantic- of particular interest
-
Ideally with a small, friendly crew and opportunities to learn
-
Not looking for paid positions, just boat expenses covered
-
Luxury not required, but keen to have my own cabin
What I can offer
-
Sailing qualifications: RYA Day Skipper, UK / Grundschein, Austria (equiv. To RYA Dinghy Level 2)
-
Sailing experience: 7 weeks / 1500 nm / crewing variety of boats on cruising trips in the UK, Mediterranean and East Africa
-
Competent with all crew jobs, some navigation and night-watch experience
-
No seasickness, no dietary requirements, physically fit, no medical issues
-
Non-smoker, no drugs, enjoy alcohol when it’s available
-
Very able in the galley and with provisioning, I love good, fresh food
-
Confident swimmer, trained lifeguard, happy to clean hull, dive to stuck anchors etc
-
Speak fluent English, French, German, Arabic
-
Easygoing, adaptable, happy to socialise with all sorts of people, can also quietly enjoy my own company on a night watch. I love all things outdoors and am musical (but promise not to turn up with a guitar!)
I’m looking to firm up my plans asap. Please feel free to contact me or forward this to anyone relevant; I am open to suggestions. jessiebeham@gmail.com / +44 7759 068515
