Classic British sailboat maintenance and sailing ⛵ Carriacou, Grenada

I sail, live, and work on a classic British sailboat. It is my home and my office, and it sails to amazing locations. After crossing the Atlantic and island-hopping in the southeastern Caribbean over the past years, I took her to a shipyard in the beautiful small island of Carriacou for some maintenance and improvement work. Boats like to be taken care of so they can take care of us. Completing boat tasks is probably the most satisfying work ever, and learning and teaching give me great joy too. Once we are back in the water, we will sail again. There are several options for where to go, and they will be decided once the time comes...

This is a simple, strong, safe, and comfortable British-built boat. My sailing style is low budget, high energy, and conservative.There is an amazingly interesting variety of tasks that we will work on together. These include fibreglass work, hull painting, installing mast steps, installing batteries, some plumbing work, and more. I will be working on the boat 7 days a week, for 8 hours or more daily, but I will rarely miss my morning and evening swim at the nearby beach. You can choose how many hours you wish to work, with a minimum of 5 hours per day. I am looking for a person who is high energy, likes working with their hands, and wants to learn. It is all a very satisfying learning process.

Carriacou is a very relaxed place with many interesting people. The island is known for its friendly community, beautiful beaches, and rich boat-building tradition. On your time off, you can explore the island, snorkel, hike, or simply enjoy the laid-back Caribbean vibe.We sleep on the boat in the cabins. You will have your own private cabin. Since we are not in the water, the toilet and shower are in a shared facility in the boatyard. We access the boat on a ladder, as it is on stands in the shipyard. The living situation is simple and rustic, but comfortable and full of character. 🌅🔧⛵
