Ref 16574
| Nationality: | Germany |
| Currently based in: | Amsterdam , Netherlands |
| Looking for: | Worldwide opportunities |
| Experience: | 61000 ocean miles / 10000 coastal miles |
| I‘m looking for a boat which I can join as a crew member or captain. I‘ve done now 7 Atlantic crossings on my own boat and would love to support a crew with my experience of 60.000nm Ocean sailing. From January till April 2023 I was a paid captain on a Oyster 625 in the Oyster world Rally from Capetown to Antigua and from April to June 2023 on an Oyster 565 from Antigua to Pslma/Mallorca. I‘ve given the owner an intense training according RYA Yachtmaster level. I‘ve also done a couple of different ARC rallies. I’m a retired retired company director with a technical background and physically quite fit. To get a better impression what my British wife Emma and I did in the last years, please have a look at www.CESARINA55.com. A sailing CV and references are available on request. Would be also really interested to find a boat which is looking for an experienced couple with together more than 10 Atlantic crossings and >100.000nm under the belt. | |
