SAILING & RACING
Meet Thomas & Sigrid. We are experienced and professional sailors who love and respect the ocean.
The company is led by Thomas who has 50 years of sailing experience on many oceans of the world: From Iceland to Tasmania, the East coast of America to West Fjord in Norway without forgetting the Mediterranean in its full length, the Indian Ocean, and the South East Asian Sea.
Thomas’s sailing expertise has been gained at all levels from single handed dinghies to ocean crossing yachts. Thomas’s career has included years in the Royal Navy during which he became a celestial navigator. He also has spent 30 years in the city and motivated many of his colleagues to start sailing.Having acquired his offshore Yachtmaster in the 80s, Thomas has focused on growing his sailing knowledge. In 2019 he became a commercially endorsed MCA/RYA Ocean Yachtmaster and RYA cruising instructor. Always wishing to develop new skills and help people learning to sail, he has now moved up to becoming a RYA Yachtmaster instructor. Thomas is trilingual, English, French and German.
Sigrid is the school principal and deals with all matters regarding admin and marketing. She started sailing 14 years ago, is a qualified Day Skipper, and currently doing her Offshore Yachtmaster.
