Dear Shipmates

Introduction

My name is Umberto, I'm 52, Italian, living between Torino and Genova, and on sailboats around the Med as much as I can.

A little about myself, my interests and my plans

My motivation and reasons to crew on a boat

share experiencevisit remote placesseek adventureface challengesearn moneygain experiencetravel

Dynamic, relaxed and easy going person. Love meeting new people, seeing new places, learning new things and skills.
I'm used to sailing and living on a boat. I've been sailing since I was a kid, in 2013 I spent 6 months crossing the South Pacific from Panama to Fiji. After that I've been spending most of my time working in shipyards and as skipper (charter, deliveries, etc...). Lately I've begun looking around for a boat to purchase in order to spend a few years sailing around the world.
I'm also a keen windsurfer, an apprentice surfer and a passionate scuba diver, I love doing pretty much everything you can in the sea (except spearfishing). I've got an italian boatmasters' certificate, the RYA Yachtmaster Offshore certiicate and PADI diving certificates (OW, OW Advanced+ and Medic First Aid). I love cooking, reading and taking photos. I have no health problems, allergies, alimentary restrictions or sleeping problems.
I'm a social drinker and I don't smoke.
