Happy sailing aboard Havheksen
Sailing has always been my passion. There's something about the experience at sea that captivates me completely!
I really love everything about sailing!
No matter what, I keep an eye on the weather, sailing day or not. I often find myself at the harbor, simply to gaze at the sea.
Throughout the day, even during work, my thoughts drift to sailing and the weather. To me, sailing embodies freedom, adventure, and a deep connection with nature. All kind of sailing is really a delightful blend of play and learning, therefor I absolutely adore everything related to sailing.
- My sailing journey began in the 70s as a child, spending most weekends and holidays aboard our family's classic wooden boat.
- The 80s saw me diving into the world of regattas, competing in various dinghies.
- In the 90s, I expanded my horizons to include keelboat racing, enjoying being part of a crew.
- The 00s and 10s were marked by peaceful boat trips with my wife and son, first on a sea cruiser Nimbuskrydser (Danish yacht design from 1965) and later an Albin Vega (Swedish yacht design from 1965).
- Since 2019, I've been the proud owner of a Wayfarer dinghy.
The Wayfarer Dinghy is an exceptional day sailor, ideal for micro-adventures and local races every Wednesday. My Wayfarer Dinghy has brought immense joy into my life.
Over the years, I've owned many different dinghies and keelboats. Almost all of them have been christened 'Havheksen', inspired by the Sea Hag from the cartoon "Popeye the Sailor". This name has become a cherished part of my sailing identity.
See you in the waters south of Funen :-)
