Hello, my interest is to sail the ARC 2019. My wife, who sails since childhood, introduced me to the beautiness of sailing. The first years fromm 1997 on we sailed with the Optima 98 form her parents at the coast of Spain and "las Baleares" together with our kids (3 boys). Thereafter almost every second year some chartering around Croatia with boats between 37 and 46feet (skippered by us). We have got an own boat, a carina 20, sailing inland waters. But now I definitely want to try blue water. My wife do not like to do this adventure, but understands my dream very well. I am looking for boat and crew who like sailing for "the fun of it" and not for "the stress of it". I am very much wlling to support the crew in any task on board form sailing to cooking. And I do want to learn, for example Sextant navigation. I speak German and English fluently and Spanish ok). I am interested in private offers and also professional ones. If there are questons or if you want to know more, just send an Email or textmessage. (I hold the following certificates: Sportboot See und Binnen (Pleasure Crafts Skipper licence for all waters), SRC (GMDSS), BR (coastal licence of German Yachting Federation))
