Andreas Nilsson from Gothenburg, Sweden. RYA/MCA Yachtmaster Ocean with commercial endorsement for sail and power boats. Experience of Atlantic crossing. Did the ARC 2016 as first mate/watch leader. Many crossings of the North Sea. Started sailing as a three month old baby. Never managed to quit. For the last ten years I've spent about one month a year in Brazil as skipper/first mate on a charter sport fishing power boat. Inshore sail racing in a 27 foot lightweight sports boat (1250 kg). I once studied engineering physics but the last fifteen years I have run my own business in apartment management. I speak Swedish and English and some French and German. I do not smoke.
