Ref 8793
| Nationality: | Belgium |
| Currently based in: | 66360 Llar, France |
| Looking for: | Central & North America; Mediterranean & Black Sea; South America; Western Europe & North Atlantic Islands; |
| Experience: | 8000 ocean miles / 5000 coastal miles |
| We are a retired couple, Angela (52) & Boudewijn (66). We usually sail together, but are also interested to build up other experiences separately. We bought our own boat in 2017, which is located in the Baltic (Oxelösund, Sweden). A beautiful classic long keel ketch. We're looking to increase our sailing experience with (among other things) tidal waters, long crossings (we've both done the ARC & ARC+ on a Swan and also a Lagoon) ... Angela is a composite material engineer and we're both very practical, both can cook, we are certainly not scared of cleaning/maintenance, and most importantly for long crossings, we are very good at losing card games! | |
