I am 22, have recently graduated with from the University of Leeds in Psychology (First Class), and have sailed my whole life. I am a sociable and fun person who can fit in well with many types of people, particularly on a boat. In the future I plan on continue with my studies by completing a masters qualification, however, before then would like to sail across the Atlantic and other sailing related activities. I have a lot of experience cruising, sailing between 500-1500nm a year (for 6+ years) on a Class 40, Pogo 12.50, J133, Jeanea 37, as well as some sailing in the Mediterranean. I have done many channel crossings, (including night crossings with solo watches) and some longer passages. Additionally I sailed dinghies competitively through most of my childhood, and was the captain of the Leeds sailing team whilst at uni; team racing and match racing nearly every weekend. I have currently no sailing qualifications, as I have never felt the need to get them but I am planning to do my Day Skipper ASAP. | |
