Dedicated sailor throughout most of my life. Ranging from family cruising and dinghy sailing to coaching and race official work.
“A Bad Day Sailing Is Better Than Good Day At Work.”
“Sailing – The fine art of slowly going nowhere at great expense while being cold, wet and miserable.”
“Sailing is the closest I can get to nature – it’s adrenaline, fear, a constant challenge and learning experience, an adventure into the unknown. And of course there is nothing better than wearing the same T-shirt for days and not brushing my hair for weeks.”
Judging at national and international level for fleet racing events. Primarily dinghy/youth events with on-water RRS42 (Appendix P). Passed the national and the international seminar.
Training for the danish national sailing league and participating as a bowman for my sailing club.
