| Currently based in: | Groningen, Netherlands |
| Looking for: | Worldwide opportunities |
| Experience: | 400 ocean miles / 1780 coastal miles |
| I am an 54 years old self employed married man from the Northern part of the Netherlands and started sailing 10+ years ago when I was living in Perth, Australia. Since then we rented yachts in all parts of the world but a transatlantic crossing is still not ticked off the wish list. I am planning to buy a boat to start sailing around the world in a couple of years and am very eager to gain lots of experience on this trip. I booked a trip from Las Palmas for the ARC rally in November 2019 to St. Lucia but unfortunately the boat broke down ans therefore the trip was cancelled. Please consider me as a easy going but reliable person who loves to sail :) | |
