A good mood, sailing experience with night watches and no problem with seasickness is needed. Beside male or female crew I’m also open for a relation with a women to share life at sea and land. The boat is a Hallberg-Rassy 42 (F mkII) equipped for long distance sailing (watermaker, Epirb, sattelite communication with Iridium and Starlink, liferaft, radar, AIS, VHF, large solarpanels etc).

Early 2023 I crossed the Atlantic from Gran Canaria via Cape Verde to Grenada in the Caribbean together with crew and 25 other sailboats. I have sailed for many years in the Baltic and now I sail about half of the year on the circumnavigation. I have an apartment and office in Stockholm in Sweden where I am sometimes.
