About

They say 'home is where the heart is,' but honestly, I’m just sad on land and extremely happy at sea. My name is Renato (or Ron), I am 37 years old, and I am a 'gentle deckhand' with a lifelong passion for sailing. It is a pleasure to meet you! :) My journey started at age six on Lake Garda with the legendary Optimist, moving up to Hobie Cats, X14s, and Lasers. By the age of 16, I began competing internationally in Italy. Within a 10-person team, I covered every role—from 'movable ballast' to Helm—and finally served as a Front Sails Trimmer for the last four years of my racing career. I capped off that chapter with an incredible experience in the America's Cup Team with Land Rover BAR / AC45 (now INEOS Britannia). It would be a great pleasure to join your crew as a deckhand to prove my abilities and continue growing every day. My ultimate dream is to complete an Atlantic Crossing and, eventually, a solo circumnavigation of the globe, inspired by sailors like Jessica Watson.
