Hi! I am a passionate sailor from Barcelona. I've been sailing dinghies since I was 8, and competed in Laser races during my teenage years. Since I was 16 I have been working as a sailing and windsurfing instructor and coached a windsurfing regata team during a couple of years. I have also competed in several cruise ship regatas, between Barcelona and the Balearic Islands and along the Catalan coast. In these regatas my position was mainly mainsail, but I have also had some experience as skipper, foredeck and piano. Apart from my love for sailing and the ocean, I love traveling and discovering new cultures, music and a good conversation. I'm an easy-going, openminded and curious person. I'm a fast learner and very honest about what I know and what I don't know how to do on a boat. I'm currently studing medicine (5th year) in Bologna, Italy. As from July 2022 I plan to take a gap year in my studies (before returning for my final year of medicine at the University of Barcelona) and travel the world, if possible sailing! At the moment my objective is to participate in the ARC rally although I am also open to other options and proposals. If you are looking for adventurous and hardworking crew please contact me! | |
