Sailing French Polynesia-New Zealand
Participants are welcome on parts of the route Tahiti-Tonga-Fiji-New Zealand starting on Tahiti on July 6th, 2026.
I started the journey in Portugal and I have sailed with crew one season in the Mediter-ranean, across the Atlantic with crew and other sailboats, two seasons in the Caribbean, crossing the Pacific and now the boat is on Tahiti. 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).
We are looking for one experienced first mate who likes to cook. No problem with sea-sickness and a good mood is needed.
There are no costs on board for the crew (food, diesel, marinas etc).
I am a lawyer and I have grown up children. I am responsible, capable, reliable, uncom-plicated and close to laughter. I exercise regularly and rarely drink alcohol.
