Skippering and Crew Work – From the age of 16 I have been employed to deliver and help move a number of types of motor boat from 12m to 20m and recentlyI have regularly acted as a solo charter skipper in Cala d’Or, Mallorca. Much of this work has been done in teams of two or three under a range of weatherconditions both at day and overnight; through these I have gained experience in skippering, watch keeping, line handling, jet tender handling and wash downsalong with working closely in a team under pressure.Yard work – A wide variety including waxing, polishing, carpet cleaning, teak renovation, exterior detailing, outboard servicing dry docking procedures andinterior preparation. I have learned the basics of keeping a yacht up to standard both in and out of the water and can happily undertake these tasks independently or in a team, to a high standard and with a strong attention todetail.
