Experience: | 0 ocean miles / 5000 coastal miles |
I am a professional meteorologist taking a career break to try and gain more sea miles. I am a very experienced sailor with a wide background in competitive inshore racing as well as coastal cruising and racing. Over the last few years my focus has shifted more to offshore racing. I have raced the last three RORC series on board 38-45ft offshore race yachts in all positions, with a number of class wins and good overall results. I am comfortable at the front and the back of the boat, but have more recently been sailing as navigator. I am looking for a boat to sail the 2021 ARC on, after which I will base myself in the Caribbean until my offshore race team arrives for the Caribbean 600. Sailing the Atlantic is a bucket list item for me and I would be very grateful for anyone who provides the opportunity to tick this off. | |
