Hi Folks. Wishing everyone a great 2024. For all of you that get on the water I wish you great sailing and safe passages. Cheers.

The yacht is a 52 foot Ketch. She is an Amel Meltem and I sail her in Greek waters. There is over 6ft head room almost completely throughout, so tall sailors can be very comfortable moving around below. Although there are nine berths on board it is my preference to sail with no more than three plus myself. During the last 20 years it has mostly been just myself plus one on board. In October 2021 I had the standing rigging replaced.

I am an experienced sailor who wants to continue to enjoy sailing. My yacht is an Amel Meltem and is currently ashore in Preveza, Greece. The Greek Islands are my favoured sailing area. Sailing and sharing my experience while also learning from others is always my pleasure. In skippering I always try to have a spirit of friendship, team work and sharing. Every passage is different and I try to see to it that everyone gets as much enjoyment from it as possible. Consensus is my preferred route to decisions, but I am capable of asking a crew member to leave if peace and safety are compromised. Crew who enjoy the society of their crew mates is the ideal. As skipper I also understand that everyone on board must feel free to take "me" time without explanation or justification. Physical and emotional comfort on board are 'must haves' without question. If Freedom, Fun, Relaxation, Pleasure and Safety in a non-judgemental environment means anything to you, then maybe we would enjoy sailing together.
Sailing, leaving, arriving, anchoring, berthing in port, exploring ashore, messing around in the dinghy, swimming, chatting, debating, learning, coffee on deck in the morning and eating ashore in the evening are all favourites with me.

Sailing Experience:
Been messing around in boats since I was 10 years of age. Have sailed dinghies, smaller yachts, owned a power boat and currently own and sail a 52ft ketch in Greek waters.
