11/2/2023 from Norfolk VA to St. Maarten on a Lagoon 52 Catamaran

OPO crew Request # 23-86 Boat owner and skipper XXXXXX is looking for crew to sail his 2021Lagoon 52 Catamaran named Juneiff from Norfolk to SXM along with the loose group of catamarans sailing south. He is looking for semi-experienced crew since he plans to sail with only three crew. The other crew is in there 50's who has made 3 multiple passages with him over the past 18 months. Eric has already sailed the boat to the Caribbean and back last year so this is his 2nd time make the round trip. The actual passage may take as little as 9 or 10 days, but you want to make sure you have time built in for any weather delay. Each crew member would also have their own full ensuite Queen bed suite since this is a 3 cabin, 3 bath owner’s version. There is a good chance that you will arrive in SXM about the same time as the NAR XXXXXX So we may see you there for our final arrival party. The passage is free with all onboard expenses included, but you need to get to and from the boat amd have money for shoreside meals and drinks. If interested please send your sailing resume to Eric at XXXXX@XXXX He includes: Top of the line 2 year old catamaran and outfitted exceptionally well from both comfort and safety perspective. XXXXXX completed 5/2022 "CORNELIA doesn’t show signs of structural defects. She’s build by the world premier catamaran builder.
