Experience

The Maiden Factor

• United Kingdom
• Non-profit Organizations
• 1 - 100 Employee

• Engineer and Crew

  • Oct 2021 - Present

  As the onboard engineer my main role is to keep the boat running and reliable. Fixing and maintaining our Yanmar engine, Kohler generator and Master Volt & C Zone electrical systems are essential to keep our crew and boat safe. As crew I am also heavily involved with sailing Maiden between various destinations and when visitors would like a day sail. The Maiden Factor is not just about sailing, that would be easy. This three year tour is about supporting girls around the world through STEAM education. Helping girls get into these core subjects could positively change their futures. Currently 130 million girls do not have access to an education and the Covid pandemic has caused this number to increase by another 11 million. The funds we raise will go towards educational resources, sponsoring girls through education and charities that share our values. Empower a girl, change the world! Show less
