Looking for a sailboat from the Marquesas to Australia (from end of March)
I am Floor, 27 year old, from the Netherlands. I love to travel, especially to meet new people, hear amazing stories and to explore all the corners of the world. I love to sail and to improve my sailing skills further.
Since October, I have been sailing from Gibraltar to Panama and will continue towards the Marquesas. There, new crew arrives on the boat I am currently on. I would love to sail all the way to Australia! Preferably cruising around the islands in between.
I have sailed all my life. In my childhood mainly in dinghies (Splash and Laser) and I did sail competively for a year in a J22, but the last few years I sailed I gained more ocean and sea experience. After the transatlantic, I will have sailed over 10.000 NM, including sailing from Ilhabela, Brazil to San Salvador Island, the Bahama (2018), around Cape Horn (twice) (2018), from Gilbratar via Madeira, the Canary Islands and Cabo Verde to Grenada (2023), Saint Lucia to Panama via Colombia (2024). During these trips, I did day and night shifts, loved doing the trim in order to push that extra knot out, and cooked and cleaned, and all other duties necessary.
In the past few years, I did various RYA courses and recently completed my RYA Yachtmaster Coastal (2022). I have various cerficates including RYA first aid (2022), RYA diesel engine (2023), RYA short range (2022), Dutch VHF certificate (2020).
I am an open minded person, who loves some adventure. I like to go with the flow and see where it will lead me. Although, I also like to do my own thing in my own way so now and then. I like to believe that I have some good sense of humour.
Feel free to contact me if you feel our plans match up!
Cheers, Floor
