Hi Everyone
I'm Karsten, and I can't wait to join a sailing adventure! After an intense period of working in the field of solar energy, I'm taking a break from mid-July to at least the end of October. My goal? To sail, meet nice people, and explore new, exciting waters. Since I have some time, I'm also excited about venturing to more distant cruising grounds e.g. South Pacific.
I've been sailing for 40 years, on everything from keelboats to dinghies. I've clocked around 4000 nautical miles over 20 trips in Europe and the Caribbean, all coastal cruising, sometimes as a skipper and other times as a crew member. I hold a BR license, which allows me to skipper a yacht in coastal areas. Beyond sailing, I have a passion for water sports, swimming, and snorkeling, and I occasionally scuba dive, holding a PADI Advanced OW certification.
I'm an optimistic, calm, and adaptable person who gets along well with nearly everyone. I usually integrate smoothly into any crew and love pitching in, whether it's on deck, in the galley, or handling any other tasks that come up in daily life on board. I'm flexible with my embarkation and disembarkation points, ideally between early August and mid-October.
Let's make some waves and create unforgettable memories together!
Cheers
Karsten
