Introduction

Hello my name is Cristian
I'm really interested in going to sail, and learn everything, have some money for mi own expenses.
I'm half Chilean half German.

I have 43 years old and have for a few years a Chilean coastal captain license .(works for all the world) have experience but I'm still learning. Already I have few experience in Chilean coast, a month sailing in Malaysia Borneo, some weeks on Raja Ampat Indonesia. Three months sailing west Mediterranean from Portugal to Mallorca.
A long sail from Peru to the south of Chile. with really really strong wind.
Also have a lot of day-sails in Chilean sea lakes and rivers.
and have sail small boats like Laser, 470, and Dinghy's since I can remember.

I am a specialist in electronics have work repairing stuff for more than 10 years, and I have a lot of expertise in engine mechanical ( can change a head gasket and a timing belt) Also I have My own business building electric bikes carts and mechanical stuff. on yachts have repair a winch a chain winch

I just want to sail, I'm not looking just for vacations, so I'm open to delivery crew or similar.
I am a strong person in good health and non-smoker.

I just want to gain experience sailing yachts

I have German and Chilean passport

Mi real motivation is to really learn how to sail the seas. "I want to learn and gain experience"!!
also want to now more of the world

Hope I can bring my 22 year old son sometime for a trip.

I am a strong person in good health and non-smoker.
Work and live being electronic technician specialized in surveying equipment, and electric mobility. On these days have my own business based on rebuilding electric bikes and scooters.
I traveled a lot and I believe a person with no vices and individual with world
that makes no problems with anything.
also love to do hiking and trekking or biking through Los Andes, and Patagonia where i go very often.

My Spanish is Native
I speak English very well because I have several relatives in the United States and spend many summers in the states.
I've been on ships where only English is spoken and I have no communication problems.

I have no command of German language since my family came here when I was very very young. just a few words.

in all the traveling y ever had, I never had problems with my mates and and never had problems at all. (like with the authorities)
I'm as here we say "liviano de sangre" is like easy going.
I traveled backpacking for months, also live on a boat for months and have no problems.
