Dear Shipmates
Introduction
Dear Owner / Skipper,
At the moment I have two weeks' holiday between charters. The next one I am committed to starts April 21st in BVI. I will be happy to sail Virgin Islands before that date.
I have sailed professionally for the past 8 years, and have been instructing for the past 4 years. There are eleven Atlantic crossings among my 130.000 nm and a lot of blue water passages as well as cruises both on monohulls and catamarans(Leopard, Lagoon, Fountain Pajot, Nautitec, Sunreef) with guests from 2 to 80 years.
I can supply references on request but you can also find them on my website.

I am an enthusiastic and responsible person one can always rely on. I am experienced, well trained and qualified: Yachtmaster, Delivery Skipper, Sailing Instructor, Short Range Certificate - GMDSS, STCW BST, Open Water Diver.
I am prepared to share any work or crew responsibilities on the boat, not only as a skipper. I am familiar with all the sistems on the boat, computer usage, SSB etc. I like safe, clean and tidy boat with a place for everything and everything in it's place.
Sightseeing and learning about new cultures is important to me. I love history, art, architecture as well as swimming, diving, walking (esp. mountains) and skiing.
Until I have committed myself to sailing I've been working as an architect for 20 years, running my own successful architectural office.
From a boat owner's letter : "Hanna is a sophisticated, well educated and curious person. She interacts well with guests. All together it is a pleasure to have her as a crew both at sea and in port."
