Deckhand
I understand that after seeing in my CV what I have done professionally since I was 20, one might ask, “Why the change?” and “Why now?” Reasonable questions, yes. But the answers wouldn´t add much. After all, ‘change’ is part of life. And as for the ‘now’, I have reached this point after following a long path over the past five years.
So, let's get to the important stuff: “who am I”. I am... someone who wants to sail. And who wants to make a living doing it.
While my professional sailing experience currently spans one full season (summer 2026), I made the most of that time by taking on a diverse range of responsibilities. I have worked both as a skipper and as an instructor, and I have safely skippered the sailing boats in the fleet, including a Tucana 28, a Bavaria 34 and a Bavaria 38, while sharing my practical knowledge and with clients. Beyond my time on the water, I was actively involved in fleet maintenance, troubleshooting, and resolving technical issues, helping to ensure that the vessels remained safe, reliable, and ready for operation throughout the season.
On the other hand, contrary to what might appear at first glance, my experience in the industry is an advantage, as I have been taught to skilfully handle all kinds of tools. To react quickly when a problem arises and solve it, with the means at my disposal. Not to mention getting my body used to fatigue and long working shifts.
Anyway... I think I should wrap this up before I run out of space, and maybe do the same with your patience!
Just remember: I could be the perfect match!
