Hi,
I want to tell you that I understand how difficult it is to find the right person to share such a small place as a boat is. I know that not everyone is reliable, trustworthy, worker, resilient to difficult situations, flexible to do what has to be done, wise enough to know when to be silent or when to talk. Experienced enough, but humble enough to keep learning, respectful of others ideas while clear about its own.
And all this finally combined with seamanship skills.
I had experiences with people of all types and learnt the invaluable knowledge of how to be a good and positivepart of that small environment.
So what I want to tell you is that I am a sailor that is prepared to sail, but also prepared to undertand new circumstances and grow with them keeping the most positive attiude towards everybody and everything.
i have 25 years of sailing, most of it racing, both short courses o days' long races. I have owned a Lagoon 44 catamaran which I personally took care of and chartered in Spain and the Balearic Islands for more then 5 years. Also cruised in different places such as carribean, greece, spain, italy, south america. Have plenty of experience with sails and repairing things including with low little amount of resources.

I’m looking for a boat to participate in the ARC Atlantic.

I’m 46 years old, an engineer, with an athletic build, good social skills, a Yachtmaster license, and extensive and varied nautical experience.

My main nautical activity is racing. The most noteworthy events I’ve participated in include:

- 2nd place in the Copa del Rey (Mallorca) in the X35 class. I participated in 6 editions.
- 2nd place twice in the Trofeo Conde de Godo (Barcelona) in ORC (DK46).
- 3rd place in the Middle Sea Race (Malta) in IRC (DK46).
- 2nd place in the South Atlantic Circuit (Argentina-Uruguay) in ORC (Malbec 290).
- 2nd and 3rd place in the Spanish Cup (Madrid) in Soling.
- 3rd place in the Mare Nostrum Regatta (Barcelona) in doubles in a Mini Pongo 6.4.
- Additionally, I’ve sailed in various events like the Melges 24 circuit, J70, Soling, Optimist, as well as regattas like Giraglia, Cowes Week, Kiel Week, and more.

Since I was 12, I’ve sailed in various seas, oceans, and lakes, including: the North Sea, Bay of Biscay, Mediterranean Sea, Ionian Sea, Caribbean Sea, South Atlantic, and several lakes across Europe and America.

I’ve owned boats, notably a Lagoon 440 catamaran (from 2016 to 2021) dedicated to chartering. I personally handled most of its maintenance.

On a personal level, I understand very well how to be part of a team where everyone contributes their experience and knowledge, but that at every moment there is a clear leader to follow. Additionally, adaptability and ease of living with others are qualities I highlight about myself, which I’ve proven on numerous occasions.

I hold a Recreational Vessel Skipper’s license and previously had a Yachtmaster’s license (which expired after I moved to Europe). I have done many voyages and deliveries, both with crew, in doubles, and solo. The longest time spent at sea without docking was 4 days.

I’m looking to cross the Atlantic as a personal adventure and as one of several nautical experiences I have planned in my life, including races like the Sydney Hobart, Cape Horn, and an Antarctic crossing. I’m taking advantage of this moment in my life where I’ve taken a career break to dedicate the necessary time and focus to this plan.

I would like to join a competent crew with similar interests, with whom we can create a great joint experience and possibly form a nautical friendship.

I’m currently based in Madrid and I’m willing (and eager) to travel to meet the team and the boat before departure, as I believe this is crucial for the project’s success.

Thank you in advance for considering me as a serious companion for nautical adventures.

As I said my motivation is to keep on living nice experiences around boats and the people that create their mood. Obviously you cannot have a boat everywhere in the world and you cannot also be local everywhere so it is sensible to team with people needing good crew to sail.
