I am an experienced sailor with 30 years of sailing experience (owner, crew, skipper and prior sailing instructor). Work will have me in living and working in West Michigan this summer and I would love to get back out sailing.
I wanted to see if any sailboat owners were not fully utilizing their boats this summer and wanted to chat about sharing the operating expenses (and maintenance, both costs and grunt work) for the summer. I have extensive sailing experience on Lake Michigan, Lake Ontario and Offshore sailing experience overseas (England, Ireland & Hong Kong).
Not really fussed about the size or style of sailboat. I've owned a J'24, C&C 29, Catalina 22, 25 and 36, Beneteau Oceanias 31and Beneteau First 36.7.
I'm a responsible boat owner (and person in general) and I've had successful boat partnerships in the past. I am not looking for a live aboard situation, I have my own place in GR.
Let me know if you might be interested in a chat, If it's not a fit, its not a fit. I just see so many boats that could be used more (and perhaps we could make it a win / win with sharing the costs for the season).
