Dear Shipmates

Introduction

I'm looking to sail more, gain miles, and enjoy our passages, harbours, anchorages and time together. Open to anything from day sails to deliveries and longer passages across oceans, I would ultimately like to experience life as a cruising sailor.

A qualified and experienced marine engineer holding an MCA SV Chief Engineer - Unlimited 9,00kW 3,000gt Certificate of Competency. Capable of maintaining a safe a reliable vessel.

I hold all relevant STCW safety certificates and up to date refreshers.

I look forward to sailing with you.
