Dear Shipmates

Introduction

Additional to the SBF Licence I finished the Certificate SKS and SRC from the DSV (German Sailing Association)
Got experience as skipper, leading a 46` yacht through the greek cyclades under the rough conditions of "Meltemi" in 2022 for about three weeks. By the way, I instructed the owner and crew member in sailing and managing the boat on this trip.
In 2022 I joined a transfer of a sailing vessel from Croatia to Greece, 2023 from Amsterdam to Copenhagen
I frequently sail on private boats and also on charterboats with friends on the Eastern-Sea (Europe) and mediteran Sea. This year i took intense experiences in the southern Aegen Sea, I tried lot of nice bays and harbours sailing with the ever blowing Meltemi wind. In 2024 took part on a professional Skippertraining on various Types of Boats, also a Catamaran. Later I made a Skipper-Traing as Instructor on the Baltic Sea. Also experienced sailing a 46´ Cat for two weeks in Tyrrhenic Sea as Co-Skipper.

Worked a long time as a cicil engineer and later as a teacher for physics, technics and mathematics.
Now I retired and got a lot of time to travel and to sail passionately . Frequently i sail inshore regatas.
I´m member of a sailing club (inshore) ,there am responable for the maintenance of a "Folke-Boot" (Classical nordic 22 ft Sailboat). With this boat i sail every regatta when I am at home.
