Description
I am a 51 year old male who is doing a full overhaul & renovation of my 46' sailing catamaran. All of the structural repairs & enhancements have been completed, and what is left is mostly cosmetic work such as sanding, painting, varnishing, reinstalling wiring & the like. I have been traveling around the world aboard my catamaran since 2007, and have been to a great many countries & experienced a great deal of life. Accommodation will be provided aboard the boat in a comfortable, fully renovated cabin. Bathroom facilities are provided by the boatyard and are a short walk from the boat.
