Boat owner I have lived in France for 15 years, ran a business (a brewery) and am married to a French woman. I've got a fair amount of sailing experience in Europe and US - majority coastal but have also crossed the Bay of Biscay (Brittany to Gijon) and competed in the Fastnet race. I am keen to do more offshore sailing before getting ourselves a bigger ocean going boat. Look forward to hearing from you. Robin
