| Hi! I am Olivia, a 30 year old RYA Dayskipper (with Yachtmaster theory qualification) who longs to get out of London, where I live, and to sail on the open ocean. I have sailed primarily in the UK, France, Spain and Croatia, and completed my Dayskipper near Plymouth. I have mainly sailed with my family, with many happy holidays in our Bavaria 37 then our Beneteau 38. I'm particularly interested in crewing for the ARC to complete my first transat. It's been a while since I've done any substantial sailing but am keen to refresh my skills and am always willing to chip in and help out. | |
