    Description

    Interested in Sailing? My partner and I live on a 16m Sail boat in Whangarei. It is a 16m Junk Rig Schooner which has been our home for 6 years. We sail often and love to share our knowledge and experience as well as hearing about your stories and adventures. We have a 1 year old daughter who lives with us full time and a 12 year old daughter who comes up for weekends and holidays, plus a little boat dog. We are looking for one relaxed, motivated person to help out with childcare, and boat maintenance. No experience needed. Meals and bunk included.
