Experienced Sail Racer & Offshore Crew | Bowman, Gennaker & Spinnaker Trimmer
Hi, I'm Haso, a Turkish sailor currently based in Berlin. After living in Hong Kong and Dubai, I’ve continued pursuing my passion for sailing and am now looking for opportunities as competent crew, racing crew, mile-building crew, or for offshore passages.
My experience is mainly on keelboats, where I’ve sailed as a bowman, gennaker trimmer, and spinnaker trimmer. I’m a member of both the Dubai Offshore Sailing Club and Berliner Yacht-Club, and I’ve sailed in the North Sea, Aegean Sea, Oman, Thailand, the Greek Islands, and the Turkish Riviera.
One of my most memorable experiences was completing a multi-day passage aboard the historic tall ship Tres Hombres in the North Sea, gaining valuable offshore experience through watchkeeping, teamwork, and life at sea. I’m comfortable with night watches, multi-day passages, navigation basics, chart work, and I never get seasick.
I hold an ISSA Skipper License, a Turkish Amateur Seaman’s Certificate, and I am currently completing my RYA Day Skipper qualification.
Above all, I enjoy being part of a good crew, sharing adventures on the water, and contributing wherever needed. I’m also known for cooking great Turkish meals on board, which usually makes me a popular crewmate on longer passages.
Looking forward to meeting genuine sailors, building miles, racing, learning, and sharing great experiences at sea.
Fair winds,
Haso ⛵️
