| Hi all, I have been sailing my whole life since I learned how to sail from my father. I'm a skipper on traditional Dutch sailing boats (17m), and mostly do day trips and racing. Also, every week I join a racing team on a yacht. Apart from sailing a lot in The Netherlands, I have sailed as crew in the Mediterranean a few single weeks, which I absolutely love! Also, I did some overnight passages on the coast of Netherlands and Belgium. Now I am ready for some more adventure and want to work as crew on bigger boats and do longer passages.. My wildest dream is to cross the atlantic east-west in the autumn of 2022. I like adventure and do not mind about changing plans, I'll easily adjust to every situation. I learn fast, like cookign and do not get seasick at all. Next to sailing I like hiking, biking, diving, good conversations, social drinks and just have fun. I’m easy going and I would love to meet you and sail around. Cheers! P.S. Any referees of boat owners I've sailed with are available on request | |
