M/Y Sea Raider V

Deckhand on a Sunseeker 40m private yacht. Incredibly busy private yacht. Very high owner usage throughout a long season. I travelled over 3000nm while onboard. I was in charge of our chase boat (13m Dariel - 2x 200hp outboard). This oppurtunity gave me an excellent platform to expand and refine my skillset. I take great pride in what I was able to achieve while onboard. The vessel went through her 10 year survey over winter (5 weeks shipyard in Golfe Juan) of which I learned a great deal about preparing the yacht for the upcoming season. In addition to my work on deck I assisted the engineer with a fleet of maintenance procedures and repairs. Achievements of note: Exceptional tender driving 13m Dariel + Williams 565 Calling in the yacht to her berth Anchoring and Mooring + setting stern ties to rocks Management of stock and resources Training new deck crew Full responsibillity over chase boat Bunkering Navigating in very rough weather Effective time management Watersports
