Dear Shipmates
Introduction
Recently retired, in good health. Passionate about sailing - taught and raced dinghies for 12 years in Abu Dhabi from where I just retired. Most of my keelboat sailing has been in different parts of the Med. American, lived in France for many years. Currently based in France and exploring further afield and seeing other parts of the Med.
About the boat, the plans, and current crew
usually cleancomfortablevery safevessel is survey certifiedshare experienceface challengesmulticultural
Sturdy, aluminum boat with AIS, Radar. Just repainted and new standing rigging. Can sail singlehanded, but so much better and enjoyable with others aboard.
What is expected of the crew
easy-goingenthusiasticrespectfultrustworthygood listenergood communicatoropen mindedsense of humorgood with maintenance
I enjoy introducing people to sailing, but am also looking for experienced crew who can help and even show me something I didn't know. While not a hard core racer, I do enjoy trying to get performance from the boat and always learning while having fun and enjoying cruising. Flexible.
