I love sailing!

I’m currently in Melbourne after spending some time in Hobart as a 4th engineer.

I'm a master 5 with med2, and I have my competent crew + day skipper. I have commercial experience sailing - I can tack, reef, man the helm during a strong breeze, hoist and furl sails, moor, do watch shifts, detail, clean and help with boat maintenance. I am eager to improve all of my skills. I’d like to learn restoration.

I freelance as delivery crew/deckhand for charter. I have done 6 long crossings, including sailing the Bight from Bussleton to Hobart.

I'm looking for relaxed but passionate crew with a good sense of interpersonal skills. I like to stay quiet in the morning, but if we need to change the sails I'll be first deck with a smile across my face!

I am mature, responsible, and a very hard worker. I consider myself driven and I constantly strive to improve myself through self observation and constructive feedback.

Making my guests and crew happy through good service and excellent food is a true source of pleasure and satisfaction for me. This discovery is the reason I have entered the yachting industry in a professional sense.

More about me:

ESS, Competent crew, VHF and Day Skipper. (Plus other cooking and hospitality qualifications)

I’ve done 3 Atlantic crossings as chef and watch keeper and also completed Bussleton (WA - near Perth) to Hobart (TAS) as well as Melbourne to Brisbane. I’m competent on route planning and have created passage plans for trips up the east coast of Australia and from France to Africa.

I am a professional English teacher and I can teach English or A2 Italian.

I worked for 6 years as a pool lifeguard and enjoy emergency response.

I like to read and study, and I rarely get bored.
I am strong for my size and I have excellent cardio fitness.

I will respect your boat and your space.

I'm a lover of language and a baker of cakes. I can bake gluten free, too! I need to be near the water at all times, unless I'm climbing a mountain. I love conversation when it is a two way street and I also appreciate a bit of silence. It's all about balance.

After living for three months on a boat I didn't want to be on land anymore. I was inspired by some travellers I met 7 years ago in Bolivia who came from Europe by boat. I was also inspired by an Italian writer who writes about the sea, so in November 2017 I crossed the Atlantic. The end.
