Chris Horseman, male, 66

Ref 49457

Nationality: United Kingdom
Currently based in: Stroud, United Kingdom
Looking for: Worldwide opportunities
Experience: 7000 ocean miles / 18000 coastal miles
Experienced monohull (Hallberg Rassy) and catamaran (FP and Lagoon) skipper. Have skippered two Atlantic crossings and have trained crew from scratch. Also have done 17 month cruise with my wife and children. Have owned two catamarans and one monohull. Summer 22 cruised Corsica and Sardinia on my Saona 47 which I am currently selling. I am a fit 64yr old. I have run tech companies for over 30 years. I have two children 21 and 24 and my wife is not a keen sailor. I was registered for ARC 22 but have decided to sell my current boat and get something faster in due course. I am a keen diver (Padi rescue). I am an omnivore but would probably struggle with a fully vegetarian diet (I tried for a month). I do not smoke.
