Objective
After a winter looking after a 33mtr motor yacht in Portals, my wife and I are currently cruising on our own yacht in Greece, until the beginning of June.
Whilst cruising I am happy to top up the kitty by helping fellow yacht owners with electrical works and other small jobs, whilst also maintaining websites through my agency: www.ScragglyCow.com
In the longer term I am looking for a full time position, I am particularly interested in project management and standing by a build. Whatever the position I am looking to get the right balance with time with my wife and time at work.
Overview
My professional career now spans over 23 years, during which time I spent 10 years working with my wife and have run yachts of between 80 – 195 ft primarily as a Captain and Stewardess/Deck team. During the last three years, we have been living in our house in Scotland, where I have been running charter yachts on the west coast.
I have cruised extensively from the Arctic to the Mediterranean and the West Indies to the Eastern Seaboard of the States, starting with a sailing background from a young age before moving onto power boats as well.
I have a strong mechanical, electrical, IT, networking and electronics background and have been involved in managing various refits, including bringing vessels into class for the first time, and creating / implementing mini ISM’s.
Please don´t hesitate to give me a call on +447980892762 or message me on WhatsApp
I look forward to hearing from you.

Given an impossibly small budget, he successfully planned alterations and improvements for the yacht - including the complete re-design and installation of a new electrical system throughout. By his carefully researched standards, dedication and endeavour he raised the level of the yacht to the MCA Blue Code standard with very few outside contractors called in.

Cameron is a very hand's on captain, who was personally involved in all aspects of the work, whilst maintaining a managerial overview, his financial accounting was equally accurate and comprehensive.
