Bio
Matthew Finlayson
Ian and I sailed together off and on for about 2 years on the 120k deadweight ton Suez-max tanker, the Seakay Spirit and then on various other sea trials for other vessels during about the same time period. From these experiences, I can honestly say he is the best mate I have had the pleasure of sailing with. He’s the ultimate combination of book smart, mechanically-inclined, hard-working, easy to work with and extremely humble. Sounds too good to be true but wait till you work with him.
