| My name is Kristian and I’m a 54 year old male from Sweden. I crossed the Atlantic in 2019 as part of the ARC. and then crossed again in 2020 on a Seawind catamaran (no rally). I am a fit, stable person without ”unresolved bagage”. I work hard with a relaxed attitude. I have sailing experience ranging from skippered charters with my family growing up to coastal sailing with my Wharram Tiki 21 (now sold). I have a Swedish Inshore Yachtmaster Diploma. I can cook, clean and fix broken things (I have an old Harley Davidson motorcycle, so I'm no stranger to fix things that break). I don't smoke, but I enjoy a beer or a glass of wine when the anchor has set. I'm fluent in English and speak a little Spanish and French. I expect to pay for my share of the expenses and maybe some extra for the upkeep of the boat. I'm partial to multihulls, but other things are more important than the number of hulls. Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. Regards, /Kristian | |
