| Experienced sailor with flair for the sport. Started sailing at 6 moths old as we had sailing yachts in the family. At 5 I was helming 38 footer on day outs with my grandad. Did lots of crusing with extended family flotilla and got interested in racing. Did quite a bit of racing shore and offshore. I am easy going, well mannered and masters educated. I am an entrepreneur and I am interested in doing cross Atlantic or oher long offshore sailing legs if racing the better but also cruising is fine. I like to meet people from different backgrounds and nationalities. I am gregarious, curious about discovering new places and cultures. I speak 3 and half languages (English, Italian, French and some Spanish). I am not fussed about roles on board | |
