Description
Hello everyone!
We are Tilly & Klaus and we are sailing around the world. The ship (74ft) was built 35 years ago in the Netherlands and is a luxurious, very well maintained steel yacht.
We started our circumnavigation 11 years ago in Portugal. We are currently sailing around South East Asia. Next year we plan to cross the Indian Ocean from Sumatra to South Africa.
From mid-January to June/July 2024 we will be taking the yacht to a shipyard on Langkawi Island for a major refit. For this time we are looking for one or two physically strong helpers with good technical knowledge and manual skills, who are experienced in using various machine tools. Preferably you will have experience of refit work on a ship. For a really experienced helper with good technical skills we offer a weekly wage which is in line with local income levels. Couples are welcome if you are both experienced and have good manual skills as described above.
Types of help and learning opportunities
DIY and building projects
General Maintenance
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
You will learn a lot about refit work on a sail boat.
