Looking for a Competent Crew position (recreational - offshore)
In a few words, I'm 62 yo, french nationality, still in a good shape both physically and mentally!
Former owner/skipper of a Cigale 16 (54 ft alu sloop), I sailed across the Atlantic from Antibes to Martinique in 2013, but work commitments prevented me from sailing back. Some friends took it upon themselves to bring the ship back to Europe, which understandably left me feeling quite frustrated! Your sailing offer sounds a fantastic opportuny to finally live it !
Regarding my experience in sailing, it’s quite varied, so I send you attached a nautical resume, (sorry it’s in french).
My pro backgroundI was managing companies during 25 years in France/Belgium/Northern Europe. Now based in Montpellier (France), I work as a freelance business consultant for a couple of years, which gives me an increasing freedom and opportunities to take long sailing trips. Short cruises don't really attract me anymore, I much rather look for long-distance sailings, pleasure of the real sea life and pleasure of building up genuine human connections within a crew, meeting new people and unknown situation have always been in my DNA.
I'm very sociable, easygoing, calm, serious and reliable, team spirit, experienced offshore in night watches, sails settings, steering and involved in all kind of task onboard.
I don't drink alcohol, I still smoke a little, but as I'm planning to quit for good in 2026 anyway, and that trip will be the perfect moment?
French is my native language, english was my business tongue for roughly 20 years.
Awailability end of march, preference for early april, depending where to join you and flying possibilities.
A phone call or, even better, a vision conf, should be great to know better each other.
