[ active ] French Polynesia-New Zealand French Polynesia to New Zealand ref 15811
From HIva-Oa, French Polynesia to Auckland, New Zealand.
May 2026 to October 2026.
Crew are welcome on parts of the route Hiva-Oa in the Marquesas (French Polynesia)-Tahiti-Tonga-Fiji-New Zealand starting on Hiva-Oa on May 7th, 2026. I started the journey in Portugal and I have sailed with crew one season in the Mediter-ranean, across the Atlantic with crew and other sailboats, two seasons in the Caribbean, crossing the Pacific and now the boat is on Hiva-Oa. Before that I sailed many years in the Baltic and on the west coast of Sweden. The boat is a Hallberg-Rassy 42 (F mkII) equipped for long distance sailing (watermaker, Epirb, sattelite communication with Iridium and Starlink, liferaft, radar, AIS, VHF, large solarpanels etc). I have an apartment and office in Stockholm in Sweden where I live when I`m not sailing. I am a lawyer and I have grown up children. I am responsible, capable, reliable, un-complicated and close to laughter. I exercise regularly and rarely drink alcohol. If the above seems interesting please send a message and mention if you are interested in Hiva Oa-Tahiti (leg 1-4), Tahiti-Fiji (leg 5-7) or Fiji-Auckland/New Zealand (leg 8).
