It was a great season of sailing last year. I can't wait for the spring of 2024. Keen to sailing in the Med, Baltic & UK

Hi Skips,
I can’t wait for the spring so we can get sailing again! I had a lovely season last year and have made some great friends. I’m looking forward to sailing with them again this year and also with you! I’ve sailed a fair bit, have my RYA Day Skipper Theory & Practical, and 5000+ nautical miles. I’ve also got my STCW 95 (inc. first aid & firefighting), VHF, the Maritime engine course certificate (AEC-1) and I’m a PADI Divemaster.
I am genuinely passionate about sailing and will buy a boat in a couple of years. Character-wise, I’m laid back, easy to get on with, and reliable on a solo watch. I love to laugh, meet new people, and hear their stories. Am happy to contribute towards costs/pay my way etc & I’m self-employed so not tied to weekends/annual leave. I have a preference for longer trips and don’t get seasick & most of my NM’s have been in blue water.
I'm 37, fit, and always up for a sail. In the future, I want to buy a boat and sail it across the Pacific and explore the Micronesian islands but I'm not in any rush, I'm enjoying building skills, making new friends, and having great sailing adventures.
I’m keen to sail in UK waters, the Baltic & the Med this spring/summer and have references/recs from previous skippers if needed. Keen on both long and short trips. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or want to go sailing. I am looking forward to meeting some of you soon!

Eddie has the potential to become a great sailor. He actually wants to buy his own yacht after he has gained the experience so is very attentive and interested in his crewing responsibilities. He dealt with a lack of comfort on our small boat very well, never complaining. He was doing all chores without questioning. Helming boat on his own in English Channel, we did night crossings and he was OK with it. In total we made 250Nm+ in good weather conditions, mainly coastal cruising. I'm know he would be a great help and companion to anyone, as he was for my partner and I. Eddie is a very nice positive happy energy to be around and quick to laugh and joke.
