| Experience: | 300 ocean miles / 10000 coastal miles |
| I'm Tomas, soon to be 62 and retiring this summer. Me and my wife sail our beatiful Hallberg Rassy 42E in the Baltic area, with Stockholm as our home port. Plans for the long term is the Mediteranean through west of Europe. This summer to Denmark. My wife is not interested in an Atlantic crossing, so I'm looking for an opportunity to act as crew at an ARC event. The last ten years or so, I've been working as a boat mechanic, and before that as a computer technician for about thirty years. I consider myself as easy-going, interested in a variety of things beside boating. If you consider me as an serious option, then a meeting in Europe might be possible, to better judge if we are a good match. Best regards Tomas Ågren Sweden +4670733 7905 [email protected] | |
