Traveling was a big portion of my professional life. I do like to see new places, connect with different cultures, eat unknown food etc…

Sailing means for me traveling powered by the wind… exploring the world from the waterside….

As a person I am calm, tolerant and respectful. I love good food and I love to cook, too. I am personally a “flexitarian” I respect vegetarian kitchen, but I am personally unexperienced in preparing vegan food… So if you are vegan - you are heartily welcome but you have to teach me….

In a nice company I like to to drink a bit but I do not like to be drunken or having drunken people on board. If crew on board does not want to drink and asks not to drink at all: this in no problem for me…

I am a fairly good swimmer, I like to snorkel, just had my first 4 days training in freediving and I am open for cycling if there are somewhere rental bike available. I also like Yoga and meditation. My level of sportiness is pretty above average… Other sports I love are Mountainbike and Racebike, Alpine Skiing and a bit of Climbing (Bouldering) and Golfing. I added Triathlon to my sports experience- so fare on the shorter distances…

After my first experience in freediving I am pretty amazed… therefore it would be perfect to get a freediving buddy on board.

Another lifetime topics of mine is photography. I am there on a semi-professional level. Whenever I needed photography in my professional life it was most likely that I did it on my own - including studio work…

One remark on the „romance“ topic… I do respect crew who share in their profile „no romance“…. For me having an interesting exchange with nice people is more important than romance…. On the long run it would be great to find a soulmate for the trip around the world..

Upfront my actual plans when I will on the boat - and be able to welcome crew..

• The next trip to my boat is October November 2024 interrupted by a conference in Japan for 5-6 days
• The next trip after might be End of February 2025. The plan is to have at least 6-8 weeks. The idea of the trip is to go to El Nido and Coron.

• The first days will be in the boatyard to finish some projects… up to 2 weeks.. but hopefully much shorter
• helping hands are welcome...
• in the moment I am flexible with the exact timing so you can tell me your wishes…

The boat is a Tiki 38 build in the Philippines splashing water 2019. My Tiki 38 was renamed recently. During this procedure it gots the German flag certificate with the homeport of Stuttgart....

The last 2 years the boat got some upgrades for more comfort and safety. Unfortunately some repair work was necessary, too But I do not want to sacrifice the Wharram lifestyle of minimalism.

The current location is a perfect spot for this kind of work but I do want to leave as soon as these upgrades are done. But I do plan some extended sails in the region…

It will remain here until Q2 2025 at least, Than I am carrying some ideas for traveling in the current area.

One option is a trip to Japan… I am following La Vagabond on their trip to Japan… and I do have first hand informations from sailors who have been in Japan… i spent quite some time in Japan during my professional live and I love it.

Another option is to sail to Raja Amat and from there to Bali and Lombok.... maybe keeping Cebu/Danao City as "home base".. one option on the way to Raja Ampat is to go there via Palau..

And than moving westward…

The Med is on the bucket list but the great loop as well… and maybe race to Alaska…

I do have the necessary certifications for my vessel - but so far minimalistic. I do have > 1500 nm sailing experience, mostly in the Baltic Sea as well as inshore sail areas in Germany. It is planned to extend the certifications in the near future. Meanwhile I added close to 500nm in the Camotes Sea of the Philippines

I do have substantial navigation skills from my time serving in the military. Another topic is weather evaluation. I studied 2 Semesters of Climatology during my university times… My personal goal is to avoid dangerous weather conditions as much as possible. Luckily the sail area of the current location hs too interesting spots every 20-30 nm - so perfect daysailing distances - and you should daysail there….

Therefore Crew with much more sailing experience is heartly welcome to join the adventure of sailing… maybe for the hole circumnavigation….

Generally spoken: i do want to do larger ocean crossings for circumnavigation - and I do not want to travel alone… therefore female crew is welcome - and for longer passages > 5-7 days I plan to be at least 3-4 people on board.

I am looking for crew (?) which shares the dream to explore the world by boat, connect with the awesome people on this planet and experience different cultures and styles of living.

Ideally you love at least some of the sports like I do…
My sportiness can be described as follow: for not sporty people I am quite sporty, for the really sporty people I am not matching their level by some margin…

Enjoying a powder day or carving freshly croomed slopes on any level, a 100km + bike ride would be great, some single trails with the mountain bike are my piece of cake… ANd I dream about another crossing of the alps…

But a sunset on the boat with an anchor beer or as sundowner, some grilled fish from the local fisherman, a glass of whine is awesome. In the morning some snorkeling around the boat or the island where the boat is at anchor quite early followed by some yoga on the front deck: great…

What are the locations I am dreaming of: I am dreaming of the Sri Lanka, the backwaters of Kerala, the Maledives, Mauritius and Seychelles, the Carribian, the great loop, but the Pacific Northwest as well… And Hawaii, French Polynesia and all these beautiful places of the Pacific. And not forgetting Australia and New Zealand…

What are the places you want to experience?

Do I look for crew?
I do not sail alone… just for safety…
But on the long run I am looking for soulmate to join the journey, the lifestyle and me…
