| I am a 50 year old happy sailor. The family includes 6 adult children and two dogs. In sailing, safety is especially important to me, competing is also in my blood, but safety first. I graduated as a rescuer (fireman) and paramedic in 2000 and rescue-boat skipper and rescue-diver in 2001. I get along well with everyone and I want to meet new people. In the past years, I have taken more than a hundred first-timers sailing on my own boat and offered people a lot of new experiences. | |
