I sail mainly on civil sea rescue vessels and sailboats for different NGOs in the Mediterranean and the Atlantic, where we save hundrets of lifes at sea. So I´m used to sail under "difficult circumstances" ;)
But I also enjoy the relaxed way of going with the wind e.g. during the atlantic crossing or helping out as crew for sailboat deliveries.

I´m professional craftsman and sculptor (e.g. constructing, welding) and run a studio for complex engineered sculptures and designs (also for boats).
Once as traditional journeyman I found myself in different realities, studied Design and Art, lived and married once in Brazil...well, somehow colourful live :)...

I have navigation skills, can stand day and night watches alone, know how to handle lines and winches, and can bring a lot of crafts skills and improvisations to the boat.
(fixing equipment and material under difficult circumstances is somehow my hobby :).
I'm trained to drive RHIBs and dinghys as rescue operator and last but not least I´m very trained in savety systems.

I´m a honest, communicative and open-minded and helpful person and care a lot about positive feelings in the crew, e.g. with cooking in the galley,
With my background as designer I am also used to make digital documentations by foto and filming.

Fair winds for humanity!

When the work needs to be done, I´m more facing the the "german craftsman and engineer". If there is time, then let´s go to party :)
