Dear Shipmates

Introduction

I consider myself to be easy-going and enjoy being active. I've always lived and holidayed on the coast and enjoy getting onto the water whenever I can. Now that the kids are occupying themselves I have the opportunity to pursue some of my own interests.

A little about myself, my interests and my plans

diligenteasy-goingenthusiasticfit & healthyfriendlyrespectfultrustworthyconfident swimmergood communicatorno tattoos at alleager to learn & workpolitepositive outlookopen mindedcan pay own expensesavailable on my owncan follow ordersbuy my own boat one day

I'm a fit and active father of teenage children. With 1 already moved away for uni and the other 2 close behind I've got a bit more freedom. I work for myself as an Occupational Therapist with the ability to be very flexible with when and how much I work. I'm looking to get back to sailing before hopefully cruising fulltime. I'm easy going. I consider myself to be quite capable and although I haven't had a lot of experience on larger sailboats, I'm hard working, a fast learner and happy to take orders.

My motivation and reasons to crew on a boat

gain experience

I've previously raced 16-17 foot catamarans and have always wanted to get back to sailing. Apart from just wanting to spend some time on the water, I'd like to get some experience on larger yachts with the view to possibly purchasing and cruising.
