Nationality: United Kingdom
Currently based in: Nuneaton, United Kingdom
Looking for: Worldwide opportunities
Experience: 2000 ocean miles / 5000 coastal miles
I have been sailing since 2013. Following an intensive YM course, I worked at a sailing school in Cowes for a few years and am now ready to expand my horizons and start ticking off some bucket list locations. I have sailed extensively in the Solent, across the Channel to the Channel Islands and along the south coast. I took part in the Caribbean 600 in 2018 and spent a season sailing in the Caribbean. This year I took part in Antigua Sailing Week and have sailed along the South Coast of Spain, the Balearics and Sardinia.
