10 Worst Jobs On a Sailboat

10 Worst Jobs on a Sailboat

[S04E06] Can you guess the worst job on a sailboat? In last week’s episode Liz revealed her least favourite job.

As long-term cruisers, we can affirm that life on a sailboat is an adventure. It can be a peaceful getaway, a thrilling ride, or a challenging experience that tests your limits. However, not all jobs on a sailboat are as exciting as others. Some are downright unpleasant, tedious, or even dangerous.

Here are a few jobs that might have made the list:

  • Deck scrubbing
  • Repairing sails
  • Cooking on passage
  • Cleaning the heads
  • Pumping the bilge
  • Cleaning the hull

There are, of course, as many worst jobs as there are sailors, but one task stands head and shoulders above the rest (and it’s not even on the above list).

Remember, this is our list, you may have different opinions, in which case we’d LOVE to hear them in the comments. Before we reveal the absolute worst job ever on a sailboat, we have a few honourable mentions we’d like to talk about…

Don’t forget our competition to win an FTB mug. Join us on DISCORD and submit your image for judging. Entries must be in by Monday 17th April 2023.
