Summary
Female Bosun (DTCA) required for 50m+ private and charter sailing sloop. Salary TBC, annual leave starting at 60 days with package review after 6 months.
We are gearing up for a Med season and have two charters booked so far and also expect owner usage throughout the season.
Following the Med season, we may go to the Caribbean for a quick season before doing a yard period or may go straight to the yard for a 20 year survey.
Deck is run by C/O, Bosun and Deckhand.
The yacht has captive winches, in boom furling and large loads so being a strong sailor is a must. We sail often including night passages with the owner aboard and the bosun is a watch leader.
Outwith of sailing and navigation, the bosun must have strong deck maintenance skills and be able to lead and teach the deckhand everything from; painting, fairing, varnishing and teak repairs in addition to all usual cleaning and detailing skills.
Work is often done aloft so you must be comfortable working at heights and ideally have jet tender driving experience.
Our current bosun is leaving after several seasons having had the boat pay for most of her OOW modules.
We run the yacht with a strong emphasis on safety and have good crew dynamics aboard.
