Introduction

Seriously addicted to sailing, but since selling my boat a few month ago, I am suffering from withdraw.

How would you describe your sailing experience? At the end of your description include a title for yourself (look at other profiles, or the about page for ideas)

I've been actively and frequently sailing for 20 years. Crewed on 2 Pacific Cup races (2000 and 2006), cruised Mexico and Latin America from SF to Cartagena, Columbia. I am easy to get along with and have a well developed sense of humor.

What type boats have you sailed on - or dream of sailing on? What sort of sailing do you do? Cruising, racing, beercans, YRA . . . Transpac??

Mono-hauls from 22' to 50', catamarans from 16' to 45', trimaran 40'. I have done beer-cans, coastal ad offshore races as well as short and long distance cruising.

If you are a private boat owner -- please describe your vessel in as much detail as you can.

I am no longer a boat owner after selling my Valiant 37 a few months ago.

Do you have any US sailing or ASA certificates? Do you bareboat charter?

Canadian Sailing Association certificates from Basic keel, Coastal Navigation and Skipper. I've done a number of Bareboat Charters before buying my ex-boat.

Are you disabled or have limited mobility? You'll be welcomed, but it's very important for skippers to know ahead of time to keep everyone safe while sailing (you included).

Does addiction to frequent sailing apply? :)
