For me, sailing means becoming one with nature, constantly adapting to new requirements, dynamics, fully trusting the team, myself and the boat, assuming responsibility, showing endurance and commitment, mastering challenges.
Sailing stands for a most unique combination of man, nature and technology, a complex sport that can hardly be found with any other of this kind.
I gained my first sailing experiences at the age of nine with an Opti. It did not take long for me to get enthusiastic about it and to love sailing in all facets. Very quickly it became an inherent part of my life. Admittedly … some say it is my life. And I cannot quite deny it, can I?
Finally in 2018 I fulfilled a long-cherished dream and sailed off with a friend on our »Andiamo« to »cross a big ocean for once«. In June 2019, ten months later we returned from our eventful trip over the Atlantic.
For me the next step is clear now: I want to cross the Atlantic Ocean once again, this time in single handed race mode – at the Mini Transat 2021. And until then there are quite a few challenges to overcome!
Please join my excitement, will you?!
Come with me on a virtual journey into the fascinating world of sailing!
