Dear Shipmates

Introduction

Hi!
I live in Barcelona. I sailed about 7.000 NM as crew or skipper, and I'm always learning basically! I now own a 40ft boat and do the maintenance by myself.

Certificates:
- RYA Offshore Certificate
- PER license (similar to RYA Yachmaster Coastal Skipper for Spain)
- Patrón de Yate Licence (Similar to RYA Offshore certificate for Spain) (24m, 200 NM from shore)

- 2020-2021, Greece, Italy, Balearic Islands on my own Boat Oceanis 400. 1400 NM passage from Greece (Corfu) to Barcelona
- 2019: Panama
- 2019: Skippering charters boats in the Med, about 1000 NM: Round the Peloponese and Ionian Islands (Greece), Barcelona Mallorca (Spain)
- 2018: sailed about 3000 nm (300 as Skipper)
- 2018 Main passage: 17 days from the Solomon Islands to Australia, (2 people on board), in difficult weather, broken auto-helm.
I sailed in Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia, Montenegro, Greece, Spain.
I regularly sail in Barcelona (coastal and day trip only) as a crew member.

I'm a former Telecom Engineer, I had a previous life in the IT corporate world and entrepreneurial adventure, and I also have some experience in film making (Short films mainly), as well as NGO volunteering in Togo.

I'm always keen to learn from experienced sailors, to listen and improve my skills and do whatever is needed on board. On previous experience crewing on boats through this website I did several works such as sanding interior woods, anti-fouling, deck painting, electricity fixes, impeller change, cooking (well that's not my best) etc. On my boat I've redone most of the electronics with Signal-k connectivitynand do the complete maintenance of the engine.myself.

I like outdoor activities, like touring on bicycle, hiking or skiing. Advanced PADI diver, I'm responsible, discreet, not obsessed with food nor alcohol (I don't like beer which can be a social problem ;-), but I appreciate a glass of wine!

If you have a sailing blog I can shot videos for you. I have several sample clips.

A little about myself, my interests and my plans

I'm interested in passage with small crews, deliveries, visiting remote countries, miles and experience building, testing the live onboard. Searching for a cross-atlantic or cross-pacific experience.
But basically open to any plan.
I’m flexible and usually not in time constraints. I can fly to wherever to join a boat if needed.
I'm interested in the boat preparation as well as the passages itself.
I can join in mainland Europe or Canary Islands for instance. Any long distance sailing anywhere in the world can be also considered. I know it's silly but I like passages ;-)
