Seeking an experienced skipper for a potential North Sea crossing to Netherlands in July 2026

    Hello,

    I intend to purchase a junk rig on the market (more of that a bit later) and since I do not think I have enough experience for a North Sea crossing yet, I am seeking an experienced skipper to help me sail her from Norfolk coast,UK to Netherlands in either of the last two weeks of July. I will be onboard as well. (This is the tentative plan for now, subject to changes as needed).

    Since it is a UK registered boat, I will need to pay the EU duties on arrival in Netherlands as the boat is eventually going to be registered in Sweden. So any experience of dealing with EU entry and duties etc. is welcome. I will provide more details on an email. Obviously the kind skipper will be remunerated properly. Kindly reach out at aniruddhay[at]gmail[dot]com.

    Thanks in advance,

    Aniruddha
