Nigeln Posted November 26, 2017 Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 I sometimes cruise with my wife and sometimes with friends and grown-up children. But there are periods when I don’t have a crew and whilst I can cruise single handed, cruising is better with company. I have a 1/3rd share of a 60’ narrowboat, which for 2018 will be moored somewhere in the Leeds area, either on the Aire & Calder or the Calder & Hebble, before moving to the Midlands in 2019. As part of my share, I have 3 blocks of 4 weeks each year. I offering time aboard my boat in small blocks (around 5 days) to convivial people - would suit anyone retired or semi-retired who is still physically active. I don't need experienced crew and the offer would be on the basis of shared living expenses and chores. What do you think? Not just a one off - hopefully could become a regular trip feature, up to 2 or 3 times a year. 2018 dates fall in April, July & October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
estima Posted January 11, 2018 Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 Always up for some boating. Flexible hours allows me to come and go from work as and when suits me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FluffyVal Posted January 13, 2018 Report Share Posted January 13, 2018 I am in the area and would love to offer to crew. I haven't boated regularly on the canal due to recent caring commitments but used to live aboard in the 80s and 90s. Done sailing and other stuff on and off over the years and would like to get used to the canal again with the idea eventually of getting a boat or a share.

Dactyls Posted June 25, 2018 Report Share Posted June 25, 2018 Hi there, I was browsing through the crew swap entries and came across your posting. I’m totally new to boating despite recently buying a 1/8 th share in Soudley a 59 ft nb moored at Droitwich. Being retired I have more free time than available weeks on Soudley and am looking to crew for others given the opportunity. I live in Accrington Lancs and could be available at short notice.
