About me
Hi I would like to take this opportunity to state my abilities: In the Automotive industry mechanical and electrical are the things I have been doing for some time. I Qualified as a Motor Mechanic and expanding my knowledge with Mercedes-Benz(6 years). I have worked on a lot of engines, from Perkins, Detroit, Cummins, Volvo, Man, Mercedes, Ford, BMW, the list goes on. I have not worked in a yachts engine room before. I love to work with my hands, even better if they can get dirty. I have a passion for a clean work space, means I can see and think. Fishing is one of my loving things to do. Always active and doing something, if all jobs are done, ill find something to do :) I have done some split roles with The Paper Boat Yacht Academy (15/04/2023 - 06/05/2023) and 700nmi, from deck duties( washdowns and teak) to stew duties (cleaning, serving guests, interior cleaning) and engineer duties ( engine prechecks, engine room clean) plus cooking and cleaning and sailing a Catamaran Lagoon 400.
