Halekai (Private/Charter), 1 year.

As First Mate, my duties consisted of the upkeep of the vessel, including teak maintenance and mould removal, tenders and toys (Williams jet, surfing, kiting, seabobs, e-foils), product inventory, LSA safety equipment checks, passage planning, regatta and boss charter preparation. During an extensive five-year Lloyds survey, I managed a deck maintenance team and dealt with contractors while we got a fresh paint job and sprayed deck lockers, scuppers, bilges, tanks and engine-room parts. Removal of all stainless fittings on the paintwork and teak for servicing and reinstallation. We pulled the rig and dismantled it for a spray job and refitted it with fine tuning. Being a Hoek design, there was plenty of varnish upkeep and repairs. We worked with programs such as Sortly and Pinpoint Works for job lists and inventories. Halekai is a private charter program with extensive sailing and a strict water sports program, focusing on the America's Cup and cruising Spain.
