| Duncan started sailing while still at school over 15 years ago and I've been sailing for the last 6 years. We both work in tech I have a background in Astrophysics and literature and he's more on the business side. We've sailed a collective 6,000nm including multiple channel crossings and twice across the North sea in winter. More often than not on those longer trips it has just been the two of us. While the past 6 years have been an adventure we know that a few more hands will make longer cruises more easy-going. Still in our thirties and looking for adventure we wanted to keep building awesome apps, but also needed a change of scenery. So we did the obvious and bought a Nauticat 42ft offshore sailing boat called Seraphina. The boat is our platform for work, travel and a new world of experiences. We're laidback, love kitesurfing, snowboarding, exploring and are looking for likeminded people to join us. | |
