Dear Shipmates
Introduction
My boat is a 1984 Hans Christmas 43 which has sailed the Pacific and Atlantic. She is currently in France and the plan is to sail south via Italy.
About the boat, the plans, and current crew
comfortablevery safevessel is survey certifiedhave a holidayshare experienceshare charter costsmulticultural
I'm currently updating my boat to the latest navigational equipment, putting some things back the previous owner decided that he didn't need and then weather allowing I'll be setting off down south. I prefer to have one or two (sharing a cabin) crew members aboard. Sailing experience is not necessarily required, but a willingness to learn is. As is a positive mood. Speaking knowledge of French or Italian is very welcome given the route I'm planning to take.
