Delivery Barcelona-Slovenia

Post by kenmuraoka »

I want to sail my Dragonfly 35 from Barcelona to Portoroz (Slovenia) in Sep or Oct 2013, and am looking for crew. Should take about 2 weeks. Some sailing experience preferred.

If you are interested, please email me: Ken.Muraoka@gmail.com

Should be a fun trip if you make stops in Sardegna and Sicily (or even Malta). Pilot charts say you should hug the North African coast for the current, but winds will be all over the place.

I had a comparable trip (Seattle - LA) a year ago on my 35. Took 7 days with two stop overs, but that was mostly downwind. 3 adults (that don't know each other) including you is the optimal size.

I'd love to go if I didn't have to work. Suggest posting on the yahoo Farrier trimaran forum, and on Sailing Anarchy. Make stopovers longer than overnight to attract crew.


I remember that boat on yacht world. Looked like a good deal.

They're apparently leaving today en route for Corsica.
