Crew Agreement
Date:_____________
Dear,
I am enclosing a copy of the Crew Agreement covering your participation as a crew aboard the Angelique.
I know it appears rather legalistic, but having an understanding in writing is prudent for all concerned.
I would be grateful if you would complete it, and send it back to me at your earliest convenience.
Please note each page needs to be initialized where indicated.
Please complete the medical sections on page 1, if appropriate; initial the cost paragraph where indicated; complete the crew details on page 2 and provide two copies of your passport as requested. Then sign and date the agreement on page 3, have it notarized where indicated and return it to me.
I will complete my parts and send you back a copy for your records.
I am sure you understand the need for such an agreement. It helps clarify the situation and is fairly standard information for international ocean passages of this nature. Here we have the information organized in written down for all to agree upon and be witness.
Regards,
Skipper______________
CREW AGREEMENT
YACHT: Angelique (here after referred to as " the Yacht")
DOCUMENTATION NO. 1039920
VOYAGE FROM: FLORIDA TO: HAWAII
INTENTIONS:
This agreement is designed to anticipate problems that might occur while aboard, both at sea or coastal cruising, and thus, avoid them. It is designed to protect both the skipper/owner and those who join him. To facilitate inquiries, should anything go wrong, a copy will be sent to the skipper's representative before departure; and I suggest that you send a copy to someone you deem appropriate. It is wise to inform someone at home of your plans.
Crewing on Angelique works best when all are considered equals. You will be consulted, when appropriate, as a part of decision making, but you must be also willing to share all work, difficulties and dangers. In completing this agreement YOU TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR DECISION TO JOIN, and agree that you are willing to accept all that may come your way. There have been no inducements or promises or consideration that is not fully described in this agreement.
The skipper hereby declares his belief that the boat is properly equipped and prepared for the planned voyage, and that he is fully competent to manage, alone or with crew. He invites the crew to test this statement in any way they wish - by their own inquiries and judgment, or with the help of others. When you sign this you agree that you have fully investigated and found that the boat is properly equipped and that the skipper is capable, fit and competent. You understand and agree that I (Andrew J Kurtz) am the captain and you must obey all lawful orders.
MEDICAL DETAILS:
The boat has a well equipped medical kit, and a powerful radio and satellite phone with which emergency help may be obtained. However, you must take full responsibility for any current or past medical conditions that may recur, or any medical or health problems that may occur during or as a result of this trip. Make sure that you have ample medication for at least twice as long as the expected passage. You must inform the skipper of any potentially serious conditions that could affect safety at sea. Give details below of any known drug allergies, conditions that might recur, and current medication(s):
