| My name is Maurizio Torrani, I live in Switzerland but I am Italian. I chose to retire very early, a few years ago, I am single and have a lot of free time on my hands. I just took a short sailing course and I spent some days on a yawl, in the Baltic sea, enjoying it a lot and now, since I have all the time I want at my disposal, I would like to gain some more experience and learn as much as I can, both about navigation and about engines and equipment. I've already sailed a lot in the past (Italian Navy, tankers, cruise ships) and visited a lot of the world, both for work and for pleasure; Italian is my mother tongue but I also speak English and French and I get by with Spanish. I have a french deep-sea sailing licence and am available to leave at short notice. I love sailing, in any way, on any boat! Thank you! | |
