I am an enthusiastic coastal skipper seeking to build experience with longer in increasingly challenging passages and races to become a versatile and confident offshore skipper. In return for having me as an involved and learning member of your team, I actively take part in ensuring a safe, enjoyable, and memorable journey. Besides the required sailing gear, I always carry with me my sense of humor, my engineering pragmatism, and my all-round cooking skills.My next goal is to obtain the Yachtmaster Certificate, for which I am currently learning and training.
In 2016 I obtained my coastal cruising license from US Sailing and in 2023 I also added the Belgium General Sailing & Motoring license to my resume, including ICC ICMS, VHF License and RYA Sea Survival Certification. To date I have over 4500 miles of sailing experience, mostly as coastal skipper, and captain. I built my miles in the Mediterranean (Croatia, Greece, Italy) in the Caribbean (BVI) and in the North Sea (Belgium, The Netherlands). I sail monohulls in the 38-46ft range. I recently completed the ARC 2023 as crew member. During the first half of 2024 I will be completing another Atlantic Crossing, sailing from St Maarten to The Azores.
On a personal note, I love working in teams made by people with diverse talents and backgrounds, working together to get stuff done. Mutual trust and respect are core values to me. My Insights profile is Red, Yellow, Green, Blue, and last-but not least I am a cat person. |
