There are still legs available to this 600 BC
sailing expedition! The search is on for keen sailors and
adventurers to take part in this ambitious project which aims to
recreate the Phoenicians circumnavigation of Africa, believed to have
been achieved over 2,000 years ago.
The crew will consist of up to 20 people
at any one time and the expedition route has been divided into legs
where some members of the crew will rotate. A number of
middle-eastern and African participants will be part of the
multi-national crew, led by Philip Beale.

General Requirements
Ideally the qualities that we are looking
for are as follows:
- Age 17 - 60
- Medically and physically fit
- A strong swimmer
- Good command of English
- Adventurous and motivated
- Interested in maritime affairs,
sailing experience preferred but not essential in every case
- A team player who can work under
difficult and trying conditions
- An individual who will benefit from,
what will potentially be, a life changing experience
- A willingness to assist the Phoenicia
team with their PR activities
- To be an ambassador for yourself,
Phoenicia, the expedition sponsors and your country.
All crew members will be expected to
participate in the sailing and daily routines of the ship. In
particular watch keeping, crewing, galley, repair and maintenance duties
will be expected of all participants. Accommodation and living
space will be basic and limited and the expedition will be as authentic
to a 600 BC sailing experience as is considered possible and safe.
Crew members will be asked to make a financial contribution towards the
project.
"You don't have to be Ellen MacArthur to
take part in this project, although she'd be most welcome! We're
looking for people who have a sense of adventure and curiosity to be
part of a small team in what will inevitably be challenging
circumstances" Philip Beale, Expedition Leader
