Dear Shipmates

Introduction

Hey there - my name is Matthias, I'm 42 yo and I would like to go sailing. I'm currently based in Palermo. If you guys will be in the Meds in November, ideally in Sicily, and are looking for a decent and clean guy, please drop me a line. I'd like to gain more experience in sailing and appreciate any help. I'm interested in a boat myself. Happy to answer any questions you might have. Thanks a lot! Ahoy, Matthias.

A little about myself, my interests and my plans

I'm swimming since the age of three and like almost all kinds of water sports, surfing, paddling with my surf ski, diving, etc. Me living on a boat some day is just logic, haha. I love to hang out with friends and family and travelling. Was living in Germany, Australia and Spain before. Happy to bring and share my surf ski (but no need to).

I love the sea and it's my dream to live aboard a sailing vessel one day.
