About Alex (Written by Taru)

For natural reasons, a circumnavigation with a relatively small boat like our Caos is indeed one of the greatest challenges a human can take on in life. Luckily we have Alex thirty years of experience of sailing on board and I trust him 110% to take us anywhere through any conditions - in the safest way possible. 

Alex has been working with great International and Spanish music productions in his own mastering studio as a mastering engineer for the last ten years and besides music, the other great passion of his is sailing. He started to sail at the age of six with his uncle in France. Around the age of nine he moved with his mother to the west coast of Africa (Angola) where he started to sail the optimists. Later on he moved on to the 420, Hobie cat 14 and 16 and all the way since back then, the sea and sailing has played a big role in his life. 

When he moved back to France he bought himself an Edel 5, then Jouet 760 and the last one was a Dufour 31 in which he sailed long distances on the Atlantic coast from Brittany to South Africa to name one of his many earlier sailing adventures. As his vision and priority was to have a strong and safe blue water cruiser, he ended up buying this beautiful Hallberg Rassy 352 in the summer of 2009 - the boat which we now are sailing around the world in.

Alex has The Yacht Master Offshore license through Royal Yachting Association sailing school Puerto Portals.
