I have been sailing for over 30 years. I have always been a skipper for summer charters. I carry out transfers of boats with own crew. I was an instructor in an important sailing school based in Sardinia. I am a member of a regatta crew and have participated in the most important regattas in the Mediterranean. I am sociable, I have excellent interpersonal skills. I have multiple cultural and sporting interests (I am a cycling trainer)

My motivation and reasons to crew on a boat

I intend to work and live at sea for the next 10 years.
