SAILING
Sailing to make an impact.
Started sailing at very young years in a dinghy with my father and brother. Then summer sailing adventure with friends and as a junior crew member on various racing projects. In 2000 it became a design project with a classical Omega 42-footer. The following year it turned into a charter sailing business.
Nowadays I am using electric sailing as a channel for communication on issues connected to the Agenda 2030 and its 17 Sustainable Development Goals. Embracing the sun, the wind, and the water as positive symbols for renewable energy and change.
