Let’s Go to Croatia!
Sailor David Hammer has a predicament. He’s set to do a week’s yacht charter in Croatia soon aboard a Leopard 40 cat. But a key crewman had to drop out — and that guy was the only crew that holds a ASA 104 certificate, a requirement of the charter company (unless someone has an ICC document).
We wouldn’t normally get involved in a problem like this, but since David was nice enough to write an article for us recently, we agreed to do a shout-out to our readership.
"I have a contract to charter a Leopard 40 out of Split, Croatia from July 6-13," explains David. "As you know from my article in June edition of Latitude, I have chartered before and I have been sailing and racing for 50 years. But I do not have an ICC license or ASA 104 certificate, one of which is required for chartering in Europe. So I desperately need a crew with an ASA 104 or ICC to join my friends and I on our charter. Expenses shared. At this time there is a young American couple, and a young female Italian doctor, and myself. We have an empty cabin."
If you’ve got an itch to travel, and the spirit to be spontaneous, write David here or give him a call: (530) 623-5418.
