I have my Yachtmaster and am an experienced sailor having sailed and raced most of my life. I have crossed the Pacific, Atlantic and Indian Oceans and chartered in the Bahamas, Greece and Croatia. I participated in the Atlantic ARC in 2016. I have always maintained my own boats and I am familiar with the various mechanical and electrical systems.
