Looking for a serious ship to get serious miles on!
Hi, thanks for checking my profile!
I recently passed all my exams at the Enkhuizen Nautical College, for the GRADE 1 : "KLEINE ZEILVAART" (KZV), perhaps you are familiar with the school?
But doing the theoretical part is only half of it, and I also need to gain real world experience on a tall ship or larger ship that qualifies to get my certificate of competence on ships up to 500GT.
I have a lot of experience on yachts (I live and cruise on one full time), both inshore and long offshore passages.
I have been sailing since the age of 6, racing optimists up to delivering 43 footers from Martinique, currently me and my girlfriend are sailing our 31 footer in the Med which we sailed there from the netherlands (the long way round).
My current certifications are:
- General operators certificate STCW-A IV/2
- Basic Safety STCW VI/1(1-4)
- Medical First Aid/Medical Care STCW A-VI/4-1
- Pleasure craft license, restricted operators as well
- Certificate of knowledge Enkuizen Nautical College KZV
- I will get an ENG-1 medical certifcate soon, I don't expect any hickups there.
Perhaps I can introduce myself properly, and get to know eachother.
