Advice to Crew Advice to Crew Be clear about what you are looking for - sun sailing experience, navigation, sea time etc., and negotiate this with the skipper. Meet the skipper and other crew members preferably on board the yacht.
Many skippers like to go for a weekend sail with prospective crew.
We strongly recommend travel and health insurance if going abroad. Also obtain 'Health Advice for Travellers' T2 from any Post office, for details of free medical services in EC countries. Expenses Check what the skipper is expecting and make clear what you can afford. Establish exactly what is covered by the sum you have agreed to pay. Skippers expectations may vary from no contribution to a full share of the cost of keeping the yacht at sea and cruising.
