What would be the advantages of having a crew on board Long Tall Sally? Edo Ankum answers this question (in Dutch).
- all maintenance will be taken care of
- the responsibility of safe navigation lies with the captain
- passengers can enjoy sailing, helming and navigating with the crew helping and teaching
- time consuming delivery trips will be dealt with
- the ship will be able to generate income, being chartered by a professional crew, in the owners’ absence
- medical emergencies will be dealt with by a medically trained crew
- and -most importantly- her owners can leave Long Tall Sally for inland exploration trips without having to worry about her falling victim to crime or about her safety, should weather deteriorate.
