Ahoy, I'm Mike G - Sailing Altair.
I have been sailing for many years now, on the inland lakes of Switzerland, the south west coast of England and around the Mediterranean coast of Spain, Gibraltar and the north Moroccan coast. Altair is based in Barcelona all year round except when I’m on my travels.
