Crew
The Stavros (and her sister ship, the Prince William) normally sail with a crew of up to 67 people. The crew consists of 6 permanent salaried crew, 11 to 13 volunteer crew and up to 48 voyage crew. The voyage crewmembers, those paying to sail on the ship, are divided into three watches (Red, White and Blue) of 16. Each of these watches has a Watch Leader from the volunteer crew. The remaining crew are assigned as follows:
Permanent crew:
- Captain (Master)
- Commanding Officer (Chief Officer)
- Second Officer
- Chief Engineer
- Boatswain (Bosun)
- Cook
Volunteer crew:
- Third Officer
- First Aid Purser
- 2nd Cook
- Assistant Cook
- Assistant Engineer
- 3 x Watch Leaders
- 2 x Deckhands (3 on adult voyages)
- 2 x Youth Mentors (youth voyages only)
- 2 x Supernumeraries (optional, adult voyages only)
On youth voyages the two Youth Mentors (YMs) are responsible for the various entertainment activities and competitions as well helping with any problems young people aboard may have. They are usually professionally qualified teachers or youth workers.
The 2 or 3 deckhands act as assistants to the Bosun and as such are mostly concerned with the cleaning and maintenance of the ship.

Famous quotes containing the word crew:
“The crew was complete: it included a Boots—
A maker of Bonnets and Hoods—
A Barrister, brought to arrange their disputes—
And a Broker, to value their goods.”
—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
“Nor aught availed him now
To have built in heav’n high tow’rs; nor did he scape
By all his engines, but was headlong sent
With his industrious crew to build in hell.”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
