Dear Shipmates
Introduction
Hi ! I'm Paco, 27 years old musician, with a good offshore experience. I've done a back and forth crossing of the Bay of Biscay on a 20m racing sloop in october '21, sailed mainly in North Brittany/Finistère/South Brittany, but also a bit in Sicily, and in Mallorca, I did also a transatlantic in january '22, Malaga - Canary - Cabo Verde - Caribbeans. I crossed the Bay of Biscay a second time this summer '22 from Dublin to La Rochelle, and shortly after that brought a JPK960 back from A Coruña to La Trinité (4 people). I also recently sailed double handed on a First 300 for a week in South Britany and it was a great experience to get a chance to have this type of responsability being just two people on board. We did it again on summer '23 crossing the bay of Biscay on a 1976 Nicholson 33, double-handed as well. Few regattas experiences as well, on No problem for night watches, and I also have experience of navigation without electricity on paper map (Breton compass). I'm also a good handyman (I volunteered on different sailboats this year - D2 shroud repair, diesel tank resealing, engine repairs, Open 50 "route du Rhum" race preparation, taking care of the Nicholson 33 for a month with various engine problems...) Otherwise I'm a huge fan of Bernard Moitessier, I love to cook, I'm motivated, responsible and willing, and eager for sailing experience to make me completely autonomous on a boat. I speak French, English and Spanish.
