About

I bring over 15 years of sailing experience with an international competitive background and I have 8 seasons of experience as a sailing instructor. Most recently, I raced on a 15-metre classic sailing yacht in regattas in the south of France and Italy. Afterwards, I helped deliver the boat from Argentario to San Remo. This gave me basic deck skills and experience operating tenders including towing dinghies and transporting guests.
