Solo sailor up for anything
Just joined Crewbay. I am primarily a solo sailor and mostly self-taught. I have sailed on a small sailboat (Maxi 68) solo quite a bit on the west coast of Sweden in all seasons . For me, the journey is the destination.
Because I have always sailed solo, I am entirely self-reliant and used to doing everything myself, including standing solo night watches. I am very hands-on with maintenance; I completely designed and rewired my boat's 12V electrical system myself to a custom central control panel, and I have done some glassfiber work also. I hold a VHF certificate and navigate using a mix of Navionics/Garmin and traditional paper charts.
Living and cooking on a Maxi 68 means dealing with a very small galley, used to meal-prepping beforehand, and happy to help with cooking underway. I do get mildly seasick occasionally, but I just white-knuckle it, stay up on deck, and power through it often passes after a day or two. I am a non-smoker.
i am very good with computers as i have worked as a software developer for the whole stack including embedded.
I have had to sell my boat for economical reasons, which is why I am looking here, I just want to be out there and would really like to do some longer passages. I hold a Swedish passport (no visa restrictions), have a lot of free time right now, and can join a crew on short notice.
