Introduction
I completed a major refit on the boat during the last season, and cruised up and down the Lesser Antilles. Right now the boat is on the hard until the end of the summer, and I am planning the next season, which I am most likely will also spend cruising the Caribbean.
The ideal crew for this position is someone who has sailing experience, considering buying his/her own boat, and is looking to experience the cruising lifestyle, learn about boat maintenance, navigation, and all other aspects of living on a boat.

x-412 is a fast racer / cruiser. She has a very responsive helm, and handles very smoothly. She is maintained very well, and has a full set of sails.
I have been working in tech for the past 20 years, in the areas of machine intelligence, computer vision, and its application to consumer products (check my linkedIn profile if you are curious) Sailing was a hobby for the past 19 years, and now I am planning to do it full-time for the next few years, fulfill a life-long dream of circumnavigating the world, and may be work on the next idea in the process.

understand the need to conserve fresh water and energy, common sense, and positive attitude. For me, this is a journey of self-discovery. I welcome crew who are curious about yoga and meditation, developing new ideas, but it is not a requirement.
