I have owned various boats over the last 30 years and I currently have a Westerly Storm. I have sailed more than 15,000 sea miles. I am 67 years old and in January 2023 I sailed my boat across the Atlantic from Gran Canaria to Antigua in the good company of 3 friends. I would like to sail the Atlantic again and it would be nice to have the luxury of not being the skipper In 2016/2017 I sailed my boat to Portugal and back and many years ago competed in the China Sea Race (Hong Kong to the Philippines) on a number of occasions. I have held a RYA Yachtmaster Offshore certificate for more than 20 years. I speak a little Italian (pochissimo Italiano).
