Dear Shipmates

Introduction

Hi,
I live on Fuerteventura, the Canary Islands since a long time. My background is in renewable energy.
I have sailed my whole life and apart from that, I'm very technical, doing all repairs and maintenance my self. I also sail single handed sometimes.

Some updates:
The boat is currently for sale, as I'm acquiring another boat mid July. The next boat is a second hand performance catamaran.:)

So, here are some of my future plans:
From 1st August 2025 until mid September will involve a lot of test sailing of the new boat. For sure around the Canaries, possibly Madeira and even a small possibility the Azores and back.

Next winter Atlantic circuit. From here to Cape Verde, Caribbean, in May Bahamas and sail back over the Azores to the Canaries.
Leaving beginning January 2026.

In the future around the world?

I prefer anchorages much more than harbours. Love to visit places. Latest sailings here have been to Madeira, Porto Santo, Savage Islands, complete Canary Island archipelago and Cabo Verde and back (upwind..)

I can describe myself as a happy, respectful, polite, interested, and open minded person.
And yes, I'm single, but I want to state that although things might change over time, I am currently not looking for a partner, friendship is fine.:)
Seems to be an issue on this site...

Another thing is that I really like to sail, and I am not a motor sailor.. I very much care about our planet and my intention is to do as little impact as possible.

About the boat, the plans, and current crew

usually cleancomfortablevery safevery spaciousshare experiencevisit remote placesseek adventurelive off the gridmulticultural

The boat I have now, is in a very good condition with continuos upgrades made. Very safe and comfortable. I really take care of her. Needless to say all safety equipment is onboard.
I am wing foiling and on board is also dive equipment, SUP, and a bike and e-scooter for when ashore.

What is expected of the crew

clean & tidycommittedeasy-goingenthusiasticfriendlyrespectfultrustworthygood listenereager to learn & workpoliteLGBTIQA+ respectfulpositive outlookopen mindedsense of humorcan pay own expensesready to partyenjoy cookingdon't mind cleaningcan follow orders

Here is how I imagine that things could be:
I would like you to have had some previous sailing experience. More important than miles you have sailed is that you are interested and active onboard. Most important is common sense!
The sailing in August can be a bit windy, but nothing bad. For a start I would suggest up to two weeks in August-Sept, in order to see how things work out. But all ideas are welcome!

So if you think some of the sailing plans mentioned sounds interesting, or if you have any questions, just get in touch!
Apart from that you like sailing, it is equally important to have loads of fun and enjoy all the wonders of the sea!
