Hi, I am a professor of Theoretical Astrophysics in Frankfurt (Germany), where I work. I'll be on sabbatical in the spring and looking forward to some serious sailing between mid April and mid June. I was born in Italy (Milan) in 1967 and have sailed for 30 years but I've often lived away from the sea (USA and Germany). I own a sailing boat (Hunter 6.06) and I sail her in a lake near Potsdam (Germany) where I live in part. I have chartered boats in Italy, Croatia and Greece; I normally charter at least once in the summer for family holidays. I have crossed the Atlantic in November 2017 taking part to the ARC+ on a 48 footer (Vausquiez 48) with a crew of 4. I have also done several transfers in the Atlantic (France to Spain) and in the Mediterranean (Malta, Sardinia, Spain). I have a Day Skipper licence from the RYA and a radio operator's certificate. I am fluent in Italian, English, and German, but also manage with French and Spanish. I can cover all tasks on a sailing vessel, from sail trimming and route planning, over to maintenance and repair. You can reach me at [email protected] Thanks, Luciano | |
