London, W11 1HT British registry No.90464

January the 8th, 2016 To whom it may concern, This is to certify that Mr. André Branco was the full-time and freelance “First Mate” for T/A Early Purple Sailing LLP since June 2010. T/A Early Purple Sailing LLP owned a Swan 65ft since 2006 witch was changed in 2011 for a Southern Wind 93ft respectively called “Early Purple” and “Early Purple II” all time with me as a captain. Obviously the fact that Andre stayed most of his time with us since we meet in 2010 speaks for itself. Andre is a strong worker, he is honest and competent in all aspect of the job at sea or leading a refit. He has sailed around 30 000 nautical miles onboard Early Purple including Mediterranean, Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans. I am available to give a recommendation to anyone wanting to hire him. Thank you for your attention.
