Dear Shipmates

Introduction

Hi, I’m Bora. For the past 8 years, I’ve been living full-time on my 43ft sailboat, focusing on improving my skills and creating a sustainable lifestyle at sea.

Now, I’m looking for an opportunity to join a crew where I can contribute while sharing the adventure with like-minded individuals.

You could also check my boat account on Find a Crew, account ID is 350143.

A little about myself, my interests and my plans

clean & tidydiligenteasy-goingenthusiasticfit & healthyfriendlyorganisedrespectfulskilledtrustworthyconfident swimmerrarely/unlikely seasickgood listenergood communicatorno body piercingsno facial piercingsno tattoos at alltravel light (little luggage)eager to learn & workpoliteLGBTIQA+ orientedpositive outlookopen mindedsense of humoravailable on my ownenjoy cookinggood with maintenancecan follow ordersenjoy teachinglive on little money

I have a background in engineering and previously worked on technical installation projects. In my twenties, I spent time climbing and practicing alpinism, while also working as a rigger and rope access technician. These experiences taught me to stay calm under pressure, solve problems efficiently, and work methodically—skills I continue to rely on in my life at sea.

Over the past 8 years, I’ve taken care of most maintenance and upgrades on my own sailboat, including installing solar panels, LiFePO4 batteries, a watermaker, and a UVC drinking water filter. While I’m not particularly fond of diesel engines, I’ve gained solid theoretical and practical knowledge about them as well. Creating and maintaining self-sufficient off-grid systems onboard is something I genuinely enjoy.

Beyond sailing and technical work, I’m also drawn to photography and videography. I’ve found it rewarding to capture moments that tell simple but meaningful stories. Recently, I’ve been exploring 360 imaging, which has given me a new way to see and share the world around me.

Moving forward, I hope to join a balanced and capable crew where I can contribute both technically and practically, while continuing to explore the world in a sustainable and purposeful way.

My motivation and reasons to crew on a boat

share experiencevisit remote placesseek adventureface challengesfinding myselfgain experiencelive off the gridsustainable traveltravel

Sailing alone has been an incredible learning experience, but I’m ready to be part of a crew. I’d like to join a team that values sustainability, collaboration, and healthy living. I think I’d be a good fit for a vessel exploring tropical waters, particularly one in the Caribbean preparing for a Pacific crossing.

I don’t have any salary expectations; I’d just like my basic expenses covered. My hope is to contribute what I can—whether it’s my technical knowledge, sailing skills, or positive mindset—and to be part of a shared adventure.
