The skipper of a brand-new Dragonfly 36 trimaran is looking for a first mate to sail from Huntington, New York, to the British Virgin Islands (Bitter End Yacht Club). The cruise runs between 20 October 2026 and 1 March 2027. He wants someone compatible with the captain, ready to share responsibilities. Novice crew are welcome. Onboard expenses are paid by the skipper, while travel costs to and from the boat are negotiable. Smoking is strictly not allowed. He says he would prefer a female crew member. The boat is a high-performance trimaran in perfect condition, sailed from the factory in Denmark to New York in July, and presented as the first Dragonfly 36 to cross the Atlantic. It sails in winds from 2 to 18 knots, can reach 24 knots, and is described as fun, mostly level sailing with a comfortable cabin. It carries a full set of safety gear (life raft, personal beacons, AIS transmitters) and redundant power, navigation and communication systems: several power banks, solar panels, two Starlinks, Iridium, a water maker, auxiliary steering, extra rigging, two dinghies and four sails. The skipper is a 56-year-old American with over 10,000 sea miles, holding a USCG 50 Ton Master licence, and is a dive master with first aid and CPR training. English is spoken on board, and he has basic Spanish.
