Who am I?
Hi, I’m Vincent!
I am French, was born in 1988 and grew up in the sunny south of France. I am software engineer, speak French 🇫🇷, Norwegian 🇳🇴, and English 🇬🇧.
📍 Currently in Portugal
After a year and a half trip to the Mediterranean and meeting Raquel, I am back in the Algarve!
To both live and work on board, we have to change boats, this is the current objective: Change sailboats for the summer of 2023.
⛵️ Season 2023 not won yet!
After a year of living together on Øya, we change sailboats. It’s going to take us a lot of time and impact the season, but of course we’re going to do everything to sail as much as possible!
👉 We already have the name of the next boat, but we don’t know where it is yet!
