I make a living delivering sailing yachts 36'-60', monohulls and catamarans. I work as Mate/Captain/Delivery Crew. As of April 2024, I have 24 deliveries and almost 30k NM under my belt in the last 3 years. The majority of sailing yachts I work on are between 40'-55'. As a Mate/Crew member, I am active in weather, routing and navigation. My go-to tool is my Iridium Go! with Predictwind weather, as well as checking multiple other sources before the passage. I enjoy and fit well in engine rooms which usually lands me changing the fuel filters, oil and belts. While I love sailing, nav and weather, I am charged by chasing down mechanical issues and finding the solution through creative means.
The longest passage I have sailed and been in charge of as a project manager for the delivery was BVI - Panama-Hawaii and Alaska. Check out the cover page track we left!
The worst weather I have been in is my own s/v, 36' which was 40 knot winds and 25 ft seas. All's well that ends well.
The most entertaining thing I have seen at sea is two giant turtles mating in the Gulf of Mexico.
I don't get seasick, love the early morning watch and travels. I can speak Spanish and Swedish at a conversational level. I am an easy-going and enthusiastic person. I am in-shape, enjoy adventures and stories alike, a good book and just watching the water pass by. I have had and live aboard my sailboat for the last 5 years.
