About

I am a mature maritime professional with extensive experience in maritime rescue operations and boat handling.

Seeking my first role in the yachting industry as I am making the transition from maritime rescue to yachting. I am able and eager to learn new skills, and I consider myself to be a good allrounder, able to take up any task.
