Hello fellow! I'm Mauro, 37-y old, an enthusiastic Italian crew member looking to join sailing adventures across any ocean route. I'm available for unlimited time and ready to embark on new journeys, regardless of starting point or destination.

As a quick learner with a practical mindset, I'm ready to immerse myself in all aspects of sailing life. Whether it's handling sailing duties, assisting with repairs, or preparing meals, I approach each task as a learning opportunity. My background in social work has taught me patience, empathy, and how to maintain harmony in shared spaces – essential qualities for long-distance sailing and living aboard.

Greetings and welcome aboard the CF, Mauro.


What are your requirements, if any, for travel [to/from boat] expenses, and ability to contribute to shared boat expenses [food etc]?

Welcome to the forum Mauro. I have friends sailing from Fiji on a slow trip to Europe. They're currently in northern Borneo. I've Pm'ed you with their details.

Thank you, GordMay. Depending on the boarding place, I will assess what expenses I will have to bear, but I consider them to be my responsibility. I can contribute to the costs of food and boat maintenance; in other experiences I've had, I didn't exceed 25€ per day.

Thanks e Buona Serata
