looking for a captain

[Laurel]

My Mother and I recently purchased a 36' Macgregor Cat which is docked in Florida. We have started a business in Cancun Mexico and are in search of a captain who will sail the boat from Florida to Mexico. We had originally thought that would be an easy task but are finding out most people do not know what the Macgregor cat looks like or how it handles. If there is a captain who either owns, owned or sailed macgregors and would like the challenge and adventure please email me at "lgonyaw@yahoo.com"Thank You.

Captain

I have a 1981 Mac36 catamaran currently in the restoration process.Where is your boat? I'm living in the FL Keys and am interested in your timeframe for the crossing to Mexico. I would need more specific info on what you are willing to pay captain and crew (it would take at least one crew member to make the trip safely)Additionally, more information on the boat is needed (i.e. electronics, rig, aux. power, etc.) to commit to this job. Send me more specific info and I can consider this myself or pass it on to other sailors I know.Jim

Crew Member

I see you have an interested captain involved with this vessel and now you have a crew member that is interested. I am a college guy who has a Macgegor 26S and have been sailing for a few years now. How much would you be willing to pay a crew member to take it down there?

MacGregor 36.

LaurelI don't know what your circumstances are however the MacGregor 36 was made to trailer. Why don't you have a trailer built and pull it down or have someone pull it down. Just a thought! Good Luck!Jim
