Dear Shipmates
Introduction
Hey there - my name is Matthias, I'm 40 yo and I would like to learn sailing. I'm currently based in Valencia. If you guys will be in the Meds in March, ideally at the Balearic Islands or Valencia, and are looking for a decent and clean guy, please drop me a line. I'd like to gain experience in sailing and appreciate any help. I'm interested in a 57 feet monohull myself and, ideally, would like to sail on a vessel of similar size. Happy to answer any questions you might have. Thanks a lot! Ahoy, Matthias.

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).
