| Hey! My name is Jakob Hellberg, I am 21 years old and dream of one day leaving home and sailing around the world. It's easy to dream away and have come to the conclusion that I need some experience in long sailing before dedicating my life to it. Now looking for someone who needs help on their boat. Have raced as a child and in recent years sailed on holiday in the Swedish archipelago with my own boat. Now I would like to expand my sailing skills and sail abroad. Am a curious guy who lives to learn new things. No illnesses or problems with seasickness (however, have never sailed beyond the horizon). Is technical and solution-oriented, has thorough knowledge of most things related to sailing but not a professional. I want to learn as much as I can. Lived on my own for several years so used to cooking my own food etc. If anyone needs help, please get in touch and we can talk more. Also have a reference you can talk to who I sailed a lot with. | |
