Dear Shipmates

Introduction

Hello sailors, my name is Rainer.
We are sailing on my Lagoon 500.
Though built in 2007 already she is a modern and always up to date kept yacht.
She has undergone a major refit in 2022 and will have more updates and upgrades during this winter season in Italy.
The boat has undergone the German BG security survey and has the 'Schiffssicherheitszertifikat'.
Personal AIS Mob and 300N Livevests for all crew are on board. EPIRB, SATELLITE PHONE, ETC.
Myself working as professional skipper since +25 years, + 100k nm, 4 Atlantic-crossings

About the boat, the plans, and current crew

usually cleancomfortablevery safevessel is survey certifiedvery spaciousshare experienceseek adventurefulfill a dreamlearn a languageface challengeslive off the gridmulticultural

Usually providing 'full pampered' charters with my wife as crew and max. 6 guests.
Between the charters it is mostly at anchor, cleaning, maintaining and sometimes upgrading some items.

We will have crew spaces available starting mid October when we move the ship from Italy to Greece ,
for winter works we will be more or less stationary in Messonghi/Greece from NOvember to March / April.
Happy to instruct people and also learn from others.
I love my boat and the yachting life-style, being aware, that it only works for me if crews and guests are happy to come back and that means hard work sometimes 24 /7 if necessary.
Still know, that there are many more interesting and important things out in the world.
Do not only want to talk about sailing and exchange war stories all the time.
I'm very open minded, courious and keen to exchange thoughts about different topics and learning from other people's expieriences.
Expect the same from my crew.
