The sea has been part of my life to a greater or lesser degree throughout. I learned to sail on the Bristol Channel in my early teens subsequently making a profession of seagoing by joining the merchant navy as a deck apprentice rising to master over the next 15 or so years.

After a number of years without boats in my life I started sailing again after a cousin bought a small Catamaran. It persuaded me eventually to go to the dark side and buy a cat for myself and after much research and searching I found an owner's version Lagoon 38. I now have my second Lagoon 38 after having to sell the first.

About the boat, the plans, and current crew

The boat is a substantial catamaran with an ocean going reputation. In November 2021 I sailed her (with 3 additional crew) from Las Palmas, Gran Canaria to Grenada via Cabo Verde under the auspices of the ARC+ and discovered just how good an ocean sailor she is. We achieved 3rd in class of 22 multihulls in the event Many upgrades have been completed to make life more comfortable.

FRom December 2021 until June 2023 I sailed the boat in the Grenadines and then north through the islands to Antigua. I had to employ a crew to sail the boat back to Europe due to family problems preventing me taking part. The boat is now in La Linea next to Gibraltar where she has languished since returning from the Caribbean in Jule 2023. The velcro holding her to the dock needs help removing - can you help with that?

I am looking for reasonably competent sailors with a love of the sea who are free to travel and relaxed about the destination. I would like to find a permanent sailing partner but that is not the objective. If a relationship develops so much the better, if not I would hope to remain friends.

I expect a contribution to a share of costs.
