Hola ¡ Hello ¡ Bonjour ¡ Bom Dia ¡
I am Mathias, looking to embark as crew
member on a sailing ship for either sailing in the
caribbean, in
central america and/or crossing to
Europe.
I am a 39 male, in good shape, flexible, friendly, easy-going and willing to make efforts. Half argentinian half french, traveller since ever,
music player and lover, nature addict, university professor on (long) break, and various other things we'd have time to discuss.
Here is my sailing experience: I did a 15 days conveying of a
boat from Lisbon to Marseille on a 13m sailing
boat with a crew of 3; a 10 days crossing from canarias to cabo verde on a similar boat; and a 23 days crossing from Cabo Verde to Brasil on a 14m boat hand-made from recycling materials. I learnt a lot but I still consider myself a debutant. On these boats I have been doing all kind of sailing tasks and in the end could do many on my own. It is not a lot of experience, but I'm a hard worker, quick learner and above all I believe I have a very good spirit on board ¡
I offer helping hands on board: maneuvers, nightwatch,
maintenance,
cooking,
cleaning, guitar lessons, no problem I am up for anything ! I'm pretty good with computer and
electronics too. I can speak french, spanish,
english, portuguese. I'm willing to pay all expenses to/from the boat as well as participating in the daily sailing costs. I am ONLY looking for boats with shared expenses as I value the human experience. Please do not contact me for any comercial offers.
I am looking for similarly-minded ship crew, would like to meet or speak first (at least a
phone conversation) in order to know each other and discuss all that is needed before departure. I´m available immediatly. I can also come some time before to help preparing the boat, and I'm more than ok for a few days sailing trial.
Please feel free to ask any questions.
Thank you and happy sailing,
Mathias.
