| Experience: | 700 ocean miles / 300 coastal miles |
| Enthusiastic Hobby-Sailor with >10 years of experience. Sailed on the mediterean ocean many times, but sadly only once on the atlantic. Never managed to get any official sailing certificates (i do own SRC for operating the VHF radio), but experienced as crew, helmsman, watchstanding and some field medicine. I'm an engineer in my professional life, so i can pick up technical terms and challenges quite easily. I planned to join the ARC 2022, but the skipper changed plans. So looking for a new crew to tackle this challenge :-) | |
