| I am a 46 year old male who has been sailing on and off my whole life. This past year we purchased a boat to escape Covid, we sailed the boat from England, to Gibraltar, to the Canaries and around through the Caribbean then on into the USA. I grew up sailing small boats, raced lasers/420 type boats through high school, then 420 - Larger offshore boats in college before I began cruising with the family. I've owned an opti, laser, 2 hobies, Ranger 24, Grampian 26, Hunter 31, Hunter 340, and this lagoon 450s. I've also chartered roughly 7-10 boats and have a great deal of experience sailing. I've now sailed roughly 9000 offshore miles, crossed the Atlantic and sailed in just about every sea state imaginable. You can get to know us a bit online below at the You Tube and PW Links where you can also see our travels this year. | |
