Crew member seeking a first Atlantic crossing

Description

This 42-year-old sailor, based in Mallorca, is looking for a boat for her first Atlantic crossing. She is open to other offshore passages that would allow her to keep learning. She started sailing three years ago, entirely on the ground, through practice, nautical training and time spent at sea. In June 2024, she co-founded a small boat rental business in Mallorca with a partner, and has since been working in the nautical sector, on sailing boats as well as motorboats. In July 2025, she obtained her Spanish PPER (professional patron of pleasure boats) licence, as well as the basic STCW, VHF/GMDSS, sea survival and PADI Open Water certifications. She has between 2,500 and 10,000 miles under her belt. She knows how to do some passage planning, safety and basic maintenance, and has already stood night watches. She has also taken part in a few regattas among friends. She wants to improve her offshore navigation, watchkeeping, passage preparation, safety, maintenance and manoeuvres, while sharing what she already knows. She describes herself as a simple, cheerful person who gets along well with others and respects everyone's space. She enjoys music as much as silence, fishing and cooking as a team. She would also like to practise her English with an international crew. She is looking for an experience that combines learning and adventure, either as a volunteer or to take on miles, in a recreational sailing setting. She is available right now, speaks Spanish and Catalan, and has a basic command of English and Italian. Non-smoker.
