Hello!. I am easy going and hard working, and especially keen to do the ARC Atlantic rally, but I am open to any opportunity. My plan is to mile build as much as possible and then complete the RYA Yachtmaster in 2023. Eventually I will buy my own yacht and sail the world. For now, I want to build up as much experience as I can. I have done some offshore, I competed in a JOG race from Cowes to Guernsey on a Beneteau First 40.7 . I also did a 53' yacht delivery in 2022 as watch leader in Greece in heavy weather. I am a UK expat, and have lived all over the world, I own my own business, so have plenty of time, and can be available at short notice. I am happy, positive and cheerful person, very easy to get along with, and a team player. I am available to have a quick chat on anytime so we can get to know each other. I am commercially endorsed for both sail and motor, having completed the VHF course, ENG-1 medical, firefighting, personal survival and first aid courses.
