Manolis Traxler, male, 62

Ref 24135

Nationality: Switzerland
Currently based in: Livorno, Italy
Looking for: Worldwide opportunities
Experience: 0 ocean miles / 1500 coastal miles
Passionate about sailing though with limited experience, eager to do my share, including night watches. I wish to serve as competent crew to go blue-water sailing. When off watch I'm happy to do some cooking, I enjoy reading, playing chess, and I will happily sink a fishing line if conditions allow. I've been vaccinated Covid 19 (thrice). I understand the need to feel comfortable with the task, the boat, the skipper and the crew. In 2019 I obtained my MCA Certificates of Proficiency in Medical First Aid (# 17015) and of Proficiency in Medical Care (# 17033) both issued by the M.C.A. of the UK.
Smoking: non-smoker
Relationship status:
Dietary requirements: I enjoy cooking. No food allergies.
Languages: English; French; Spanish; Italian; working knowledge of Portuguese and Haitian Creole
