The ideal candidate will have undertaken ideally have a dinghy background. They will be looking to build their experience as a skipper in charge of their own yacht for Girlsforsail as they race/cruise their yacht around the UK & Caribbean circuits.
You will perhaps be considering a career in the industry, perhaps a sailing instructor in the near future?

What we need
YOU will be – competent, reliable, flexible and dedicated. Sailing can be tough. You will need to be flexible and able to solve problems as they arise. You need to be quick thinking and practical and willing to get stuck in to any task. Attitude is more important to us than qualifications.
How you benefit
You will finish the apprenticeship with immense confidence having learnt from a Yachtmaster Instructor. You will be looked after and mentored primarily by our newly qualified Cruising Instructor who was the apprentice from last year.
You will have been ultimately responsible for a 40.7 foot yacht under many conditions and will have experienced being the second in command on RYA Competent Crew and Day Skipper. Your duties will also include maintenance of yachts to RYA/MCA standards. You will be very employable in June 2015.
Our offer

Accommodation is provided either onboard or ashore in the Caribbean and we can assist with accommodation in Cowes as well if you don’t live locally.
