I Want to leave the rat race, and act as crew on a yacht?

Question

I am an experianced crew member of a racing yacht in Scotland, but I fancy doing an Ellen McCarthur and joining a round the world cruising or race yacht and getting paid for it...anyone know how to get into this? Please get back to me before I go stir crazy!

Answer 1

Check out thr local yachting magazine for inspiration. If not, try to e-mail Ellen McArthur.

Answer 2

have a look at www.yachtingdirect.com and look up crew agents and send them ya cv your only problem is all the yachts are fulley crewed this time of year but normally they get back here (mallorca) sept/oct then looking for crew for the crossing to the carrib get over and hand your cv out .... good luck if you get over email me
