| Hi! My name is Sylvain, I am French student and before graduating, I decided to take a gap year to realize a long-time dream : cross the Atlantic Ocean on a sailboat. I'd be glad to join your crew. I've been sailing since I was a child. I have a good experience of sailing and I've done several cruses. I've never done such a long travel on a boat but I am curious, dedicated and I learn fast. I know that a transatlantic is also a human adventure. I know how to live in a group, I am easy going and I have a good ability to adapt. My goal is to live a great human experience and to learn a lot in sailing. Don't hesitate to reach out to me if you're interested. Best! Sylvain | |
