| (I am the person to the left of the photo) Sailing has always been a passion of mine, I started dinghy sailing at the age of eight and have obtained several dinghy qualifications over the years. However, in more recent years I have completed my RYA competent Crew and Day Skipper qualifications. I am looking to grow my experience in sailing and I am willing to do what ever it takes to achieve this. I am a very driven person and have had a job since the age of 11, for example I have worked as a stable hand, a golf course manager, lifeguard and bartender, allowing me to gain an amplitude of different skills. Most of my sea miles are made up from day sailing and the largest journeys I have completed I have put on my profile page. I am looking for exciting, alternative experiences and a chance to see new places and to have a laugh while doing it. I am currently on a gap year before I am to pursue a degree in architecture. Overall, I would say that I'm an easy going person who doesn't mind completing any task put in front of me. I am always up for a social with a couple of drinks but I could quite easily stay in all night reading or talking. | |
