I'm enjoying sailing since age 25 when I by chance was gifted a small sailing vessel in Switzerland. Lot's of great learning experience with friends over the years on a variety of boats and waters. Now I'm getting ready to buy a bigger boat but wish to explore more builds while offering my cooperation as a resourceful and hands-on crew member. I skippered Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 35 in Greece and crewed on J37, Esse, Joker, First 38. Experiences around the Canaries, regattas near New Orleans, BVI, lakes of Switzerland as well as holiday Cruising in the Mediterranean/Greece. Looking for participation in cruising, transfer, regatta and blue water. I could crew for max 5 weeks - sorry my job wouldn't allow more. I'm RYA certified. Aside from sailing I like rowing and all kinds of mountain stuff :) I like to cook, enjoy conversation, listen or play some music. Open minded, friendly attitude. I speak a variety of European languages as well as a bit of Turkish and Japanese. My wife Estela also enjoys sailing, we were cruising together in the Med and Caribbean. However, this time likely she will not be joining. I look forward to hearing from you and getting to know each other. | |
