Dear Shipmates
Introduction
Hello everyone :)
My name is Francesca and I was born on a boat, literally 😅
My father was a skipper and he started taking me on boats when I was still crawling. I did many miles and many crossings with him and as soon as I was old enough, I started doing competitive sailing: first optimist, then 29er, 420 and finally Laser, participating in Italian and European championships. I have also participated in regattas on various offshore boats as a tactician.
Apart from sailing I have a degree in astrophysics (I would very much like to have a crew with whom to share my knowledge on the subject) and I am a spartan traveller!
