Looking for a boat to circunnavigate New Zealand and potentialy sail to Vanuatu, New Caledonia, Australia, Indonesia.
I’m an Argentinian sailor and adventurer living in New Zealand since 2018, currently based in the Bay of Islands. I’m hard-working, easy-going, safety-conscious, and comfortable living aboard for extended periods. I enjoy being part of a team and contributing both on deck and below.
I have offshore and South Pacific cruising experience and am keen to continue building miles with experienced skippers.

Skills & Onboard Experience
Confident with night watches

Goals
My goal is to become confident single-handing by the end of summer, ideally learning from an experienced skipper or instructor. I’m keen to cruise around New Zealand, meet visiting cruisers in the Bay of Islands, and crew locally.
Longer term, I plan to sail toward Australia or Indonesia, potentially via New Caledonia and Vanuatu.
What I’m Looking For
Offshore or coastal cruising
Shared-cost or experience-based opportunities
Safety-focused boats with good communication onboard
Opportunities to learn and contribute as a reliable crew member
Happy to meet in person in the Bay of Islands or join for day sails before longer passages.
