CREW PROFILE

Doug was born in London Ontario and has worked in Michigan, U.S. for the last 10 years as a Sales Engineer. Doug is a certified sailing instructor with Canadian Yachting Association and has his Boatmasters License in the BVI's. He has also completed the USCG safety training course. Doug has sailed in the BVI's for the past 13 winters and owns a monohaul in Ontario as well. Doug has raced extensively including racing from Pt. Huron to Mackinaw. Doug's children grew up on a sailboat as most week-ends he would pack the family up and head for the boat to sail the beautiful waters of Lake Huron. Doug is an excellent captain, he is extremely patient and an enthusiastic teacher. Doug encourages both novice and seasoned sailors to particpate in sailing "Chateau".

Barb was born in Sarnia, Ontario and has spent the last 21 years working as an accountant for BDO. As accounting work was quite seasonal Barb was able to enjoy the benefits of living on Lake Huron. She owned and operated a 26' Grampion "Bannana Split". Barb loves to share her passion of sailing with friends and family. She has also raced in Lake Huron and visited the BVI's on 4 occasions before making this her new home. Barb is a warm, bubbly hostess and excellent first mate to Captain Doug.

Barb and Doug were recently married in Canada and moved to BVI's to retire on "Chateau". Having both worked most of their lives they were concerned they might get bored sailing by themselves every day so they have decided to offer their home and themselves to the chartering business so they will be able to share their enthusiasm and passion for sailing with the rest of the world.

Barb and Doug have decided to offer two types of charters.

1. Barb and Doug will sail the boat for you and you will provide you own provisioning and cooking. The galley will be available to you at all times for preparing your own meals, snacks etc. They can send you a provisional listing and would be happy to see that your supplies are on board when you arrive.

2. Barb and Doug will provide breakfast and lunch and you will be able to dine out at one of the many fine restaraunts of the BVI's or choose to cook your own meal on board Chateau in the well equipped galley.
