Sailing French Polynesia (Bora Bora) to New Zealand
Participants are welcome on parts of the route Bora Bora-Tonga-Fiji-New Zealand starting on Bora Bora August 11th, 2026.
I started the journey in Portugal and I have sailed with crew one season in the Mediterranean, across the Atlantic with crew and other sailboats, two seasons in the Caribbean, crossing the Pacific and now the boat is on Bora Bora in French Polynesia. Before that I sailed many years in the Baltic and on the west coast of Sweden.
The boat is a Hallberg-Rassy 42 (F mkII) equipped for long distance sailing (watermaker, Epirb, sattelite communication with Iridium and Starlink, liferaft, radar, AIS, VHF, large solarpanels etc).
Sailing experience with night watches, no problem with seasickness and a good mood is needed.
I am a lawyer and I have grown up children. I am responsible, capable, reliable, uncomplicated and close to laughter. I exercise regularly and rarely drink alcohol.
