Dear Shipmates
Introduction
I love sailing in any form; I have sailed dinghies, windsurfed, cruised and even (with very little success by the way) sail raced. I have also instructed practically -at CINA international sailing school- and theoretically -preparing for certificate tests- and managed an inland sail racing club. Former national swimming bronze medallist and national league waterpolo player, I keep fit and work out.
Professionally, as a materials scientist I have done scientific research at several academic institutions and later worked as PR consultant in the environment, health and finance corporate communications world.

My motivation and reasons to crew on a boat
share experienceface challenges
I have sailed most of the Iberian peninsula coast, incl several crossings to the Balearic Islands, but hardly elsewhere.
My well maintained 1978 Puma 26 based in Isla Cristina, SW Spain, is too small for comfortable cruising and have difficulties to find crew, I thought might offer others the help I need and enjoy new areas.
