Sailing French Polynesia-New Zealand
Participants are welcome on parts of the route Hiva-Oa in the Marquesas (French Poly-nesia)-Tahiti-Tonga-Fiji-New Zealand starting on Hiva-Oa on May 7th, 2026.
I started the journey in Portugal and I have sailed with crew one season in the Mediter-ranean, across the Atlantic with crew and other sailboats, two seasons in the Caribbean, crossing the Pacific and now the boat is on Hiva-Oa. Before that I sailed many years in the Baltic and on the west coast of Sweden.
The boat is a Hallberg-Rassy 42 (F mkII) equipped for long distance sailing (watermaker, Epirb, sattelite communication with Iridium and Starlink, liferaft, radar, AIS, VHF, large solarpanels etc).
Sailing experience with night watches, no problem with seasickness and a good mood is needed.
I have an apartment and office in Stockholm in Sweden where I live when I`m not sail-ing. I am a lawyer and I have grown up children. I am responsible, capable, reliable, un-complicated and close to laughter. I exercise regularly (metabolic age 51 years :-) and rarely drink alcohol. Beside male or female crew I’m also open for a relation with a women to share life at sea and land.
