Hi! I am Floor, 26 year old, from the Netherlands. I love to travel, especially to meet new people, hear amazing stories and to explore all the corners of the world. I would like to improve my sailing skills, mostly offshore. Therefore, I would love to cross the Atlantic in fall 2023 and sail around the Caribbean. I have sailed all my life, mainly in dinghies (Splash and Laser) and I did sail competively for a year in a J22, though I have some experience in ocean sailing too. I have sailed around the Isle of Skye, Scotland with my family in 2012. However, in 2018, during my 6 month trip through South America, I sailed around Cape Horn (twice) and sailed from Ilhabela, Brazil to San Salvador Island, the Bahamas. During these trips, my love for ocean sailing was born! In total, I sailed over 6000 nm. During these trips, I did day and night shifts, loved doing the trim in order to push that extra knot out, and cooked and cleaned. Since then, I did various RYA courses and recently completed my RYA Yachtmaster Coastal (2022). Together with my father I bought a 30ft van der Stadt sailboat, which I sail both with him and friends, but mainly by myself around the Netherlands on the IJsselmeer, Waddenzee and North Sea. Hopefully, this summer my father and I will cross the Chanel to England.
