I am currently cruising Thailand and Malaysia on our Dehler 41DS 'Seventh Heaven' and would like to do some racing while here.
My racing resume is attached including many years racing our Dehler 39 'Dehler Magic' including the 2007 Sydney to Hobart.
I have many years experience yacht racing and can fill any position on the yacht required.
