The Ultimate Sailing Holiday Job this summer?
If you are an excellent sailor, particularly one who likes sailing in high winds, perhaps you’d like to join the team at Wildwind in Greece this summer?
As you’ll already know from Wildwind’s continuing sponsorship of numerous ILCA events, Wildwind is an award winning dinghy and multihull sailing holiday company with a reputation unmatched throughout Europe – with the widest range of equipment, incredible sailing conditions and a staff that is dedicated to showing their guests the very best in the sport of sailing. Wildwind clients range from total beginners to Olympic medalists and come from all over the world for the Wildwind experience…there’s simply no place like it.
Unfortunately, one of the effects of Brexit is that it is extremely difficult for companies such as Wildwind to employ British youths and students abroad in Greece. Over the past thirty or so years Wildwind has been fortunate to have taken on board many young people who have perhaps come through the excellent RYA youth programmes, or have excellent racing experience. In fact, Wildwind lists among its staff alumni sailors such as Chris Draper (silver medalist Athens 2004 and Americas cup skipper) and David Graham current president of World sailing…
Until there is some sort of reciprocal arrangement agreed between the EU and the UK as regards employment companies such as Wildwind are only able to employ staff who have an EU passport (or can get one with dual nationality). If this is you, and you’d like to spend the summer working and sailing in one of Europe’s top sailing locations and with a great team, please do get in touch with Simon Morgan, Wildwind founder, in the first instance.
Incidentally you can also meet Simon at the RYA Dinghy Show at the ILCA stand on Saturday 26th Feb at 3pm where he will be making the draw for this year’s Wildwind/ILCA Grand Prix sponsored prize holiday!
Please write in the first instance to Simon@wildwind.co.uk with your CV and a covering letter about your qualifications. We are looking both for full season instructors from April 20th to October 10th and also for peak season (student) staff from June onwards.
