Nationality: Germany
Currently based in: Palma, Spain
Looking for: Worldwide opportunities
Experience: 16000 ocean miles / 4000 coastal miles
Nearly two years ago I left Europe to sail half way around the world. I wanted an adventure...to sail, swim, dive and explore before going back to the work I was doing prior to this trip. 20.000 miles later I still haven’t had enough of sailing. In the course of this journey I have been able to experience passages on 6 different boats. Learning from each one of them as every boat and every skipper can teach many of their unique lessons. I absolutely love being out on the ocean and would like to help you to have an unforgettable and safe trip across the Oceans. I am enthusiastic, hardworking and capable of bringing order to boat chaos. I love to give people a good time and put a smile on their face. On this trip I learned how to single handedly sail a boat and I completed my Yachtmaster Offshore qualification this April. I have been involved in the maintenance and repairs onboard and take up any opportunity to enhance my engineering skills. If repairs are beyond my skill set I become a project manager and find the right specialists to execute projects, supervising them carefully. On my last boat, apart from sharing skipper duties I am in charge of passage planning and navigation. I manage redundant chart plotting systems to keep the boat and people safe in waters that are not so thoroughly charted, such as Fiji and Vanuatu. Feel free to contact any of my references. I am sure they are all happy to tell you something about me.
