| Hi! Im a 22 year old medical student (4th year), based in Aachen, Germany, and have a sabbatical year starting in November and want to use this time to sail. Ive gathered lots of sailing experience inland and in the Mediterrean Sea, but I want to sail on new waters. I feel comfortable on deck and can cook at sea, have experienced many manouvers and situations, and am quick to learn any things new to me. I would be a great addition to your crew because I function well in high-pressure situations, am very flexible and bring medical knowledge aboard. Im looking for opportunities to experience longer sailing trips and challenge myself and if you can imagine this too, I would love to hear from you :) | |
