| I am an energetic and adventurous professional interested in exploring new places while improving my sailing skills. I have only minimal offshore sailing experience (3 wks aboard, only a few days of sailing due to bad weather), but I have spent several weeks living aboard sailboats and am quite comfortable with the close living quarters. I have had the opportunity to spend time living aboard and helping to install/fix maintain boat systems. I have 1.5 years experience racing as crew on a J22. I speak english and french and my background in in mechanical engineering. I am looking to sail with an experienced crew, I am curious and a very keen learner. I can cook, am willing to clean and do night shifts, and looking forward to improving my sailing skills, meet new people and see the world. Currently in Norway. | |
