Personal Notes
Sicily, Italy, 2020
Dear all,
My name is Federico, I´m 31 old and I was born in Argentina where I did the high school and a master. I got my degree in Industrial engineering and I did a Master in business administration.
Since 2012 and 2019 I worked in different company like Nestle, Toyota Motor Corporation and others also I worked in the University as a Teacher since 2011 to 2019.
I´m starting to sail 6 years ago, one year later I decided to do a sailing course in Argentina and in 2017 I got the first sailing license. After that I did a full restoration of a small yacht (18 feet Bordiga Design: German Frers) and I participated in different races.
I'm a member of a crew in a yacht (Name: Pampero Design: German Frers) who has 38 feet and it´s made from wood its a classic. We race the Rolex Race all the years in Punta del Este, Uruguay.
I´m a member of "Liga Naval Argentina" since 3 years ago, this is a sailing organization in Argentina whose objective is promoting the sailing sport.
After a course, at middle of this year I got the Skipper License Patron Yate Vela Motor in Argentina.
In October-19 I traveled to Italy to get the European Passport, so nowadays I´m living in Gela, Sicily.
Also I really like to do kite surfing for that reason in October-19 I did the Assistant Instructor course in the International Kiteboarding Association, then the Instructor Course Level 1 and finally I did the first Aid course Italian Red Cross. All these courses I did in the north of Italy, Marina di Grosseto, La Toscana.
I can speak four languages like Italian, English, Spanish and Portuguese and I really enjoy to know new people and the life in the water.
I hope to be part of your organization, please let me know if you need additional information.
Sincerely, Federico Grignoli.
