Learn to sail/holiday in Lagos, Algarve, Portugal.
Hi all potential crew,
I'm based in Lagos Portugal with Questina II. A Trident Warrior 35ft blue water sea-going vessel.
I have a fb group, purely related to the sailing we do called, Questina II.

I'm still offering my skills as a Sailing Instructor, as the previous advert title was 'Learn to sail on holiday'
Therefore, with myself acquiring the RYA instructor certificate in 2022, I'm well placed to invite people along for a week's relaxation or pre-competent crew or pre day skipper.
With courses in the affiliated schools being around £1000 each, it can sometimes feel a little daunting, and people stay away from doing those courses.
What I will offer is the aft cabin for 40€ each as a contribution towards the passage or days sailing. The cabin can sleep two people, so ideally, this would be great for a couple, I won't put two strangers in there together.
We will go through the points of sail, sail trim, reefing, heaving too, common knots, MoB, and coming alongside with obviously exiting a pontoon.
That then should give you the confidence to go for the qualification and set you on a new world of adventure, chartering, or buying your own boat.
Thank you for looking at this advert.

p.s. thank you all that joined me for the summer trip to Maderia and the Caneries.
Amazing trip Lagos - Santa Cruz de La Palma
I sailed alongside Dave during the first 3 weeks of his 2024 summer trip. This was my first time sailing off-shore for more than 1 consecutive day. One can tell straight away that Dave has a lot of experience and was always ready to explain things to us, the crew. When we had to do anything on the bow or the stern and during night-shifts safety was always the first priority. I had a great time during these 3 weeks and wouldn't hesitate to join Dave in another 3 week trip. Very recommended!
