Dear Shipmates

Introduction

Hi there,

My name is Benjamin, I’m 20 years old and currently studying at ETH Zürich. I’m a passionate sailor who loves being on the water, learning new skills, and embracing challenges. I feel comfortable navigating through rough sea conditions and truly value the team spirit that sailing brings.

One of my proudest sailing achievements was winning the Grand Prix de France de Course au Large, an offshore regatta with a route similar to (but longer than) the Rolex Fastnet Race, aboard a Volvo60 race boat. While racing is exhilarating, what I value most is being part of a fun, supportive crew and contributing in any way I can.

After graduating last summer, I spent six months interning at J&J Design, a well-respected firm in naval architecture and engineering. I had the opportunity to contribute to both engineering and concept design work, gaining valuable insight into how boats are developed from concept to production.

If you're looking for a reliable, motivated, and team-oriented sailor, I’d be excited to join your crew.

Best regards,
Benjamin

Hi there,

My name is Benjamin, I’m 20 years old and currently studying at ETH Zürich. I’m passionate about sailing and love being out on the water. Being part of a team and facing challenges together is something I really enjoy. I’m always keen to learn from experienced sailors, share my own sailing knowledge, and be a reliable crew member.

Thanks for considering me for a crew position on your boat.

Cheers,
Benjamin
