It’s an extension of nationalist feeling. Ethnic feeling, your personal history, your province, your region, your tribe, your grandma. It’s inseparable from those from the get-go. - Anthony Bourdain - Een van mijn diepste passies die ik door de jaren heen heb ontwikkeld is voor wijn en de culinaire wereld, altijd op zoek naar die verborgen juweeltjes. Waarbij we fantastische wijngaarden bezochte en we soms wijn proefde op de meest geweldige locaties. Ook bezochten we restaurants die nu tot de beste ter wereld behoren. Tijdens onze reizen hebben we uitzonderlijke vakmannen en vrouwen ontmoet, die deze restaurants beheerde die al decennialang in de familie doorgegeven wordt. Eén van mijn mooiste herinneringen was toen ik een gerecht aanbevolen kreeg, waar ik echt onder de indruk van was, is de simpelheid maar tegelijkertijd de overweldigende smaken, ik kreeg toen van de eigenaar uitgelegd dat dat recept uit het jaar 1934 kwam, die was door de eerste chef kok van het restaurant gemaakt, en die werd tot de dag van vandaag nog steeds zo gemaakt, die restaurant houders (familie) zijn overigens goede vrienden van ons geworden. Maar ook restaurants die bekroond zijn met meerdere Michelin sterren waarmee je kunstwerken gepresenteerd krijgt die gecombineerd worden met de mooiste maar ook de meest verrassende wijnen, wat allemaal uit de directe omgeving komt. Samen met wijnhandelaren/specialisten wijngaarden bezoeken die al meer dan 500 jaar door dezelfde familie beheerd worden, waarbij je een proeverij ervaart op de meest memorabele locaties samen met de wijnmaker en wijngaard eigenaar. Het zijn dit soort momenten, onder het genot van een heerlijk glas wijn en canapés, waarbij vriendschappen en geweldige herinneringen ontstaan. Als je echt een bestemming wilt ontdekken, moet je eerst de keuken ontdekken. De keuken van een bestemming vertelt je zoveel over de geschiedenis, de cultuur en de mensen, ik ben een groot voorstander van het proeven van de lokale delicatessen en gerechten van elke plaats die ik bezoek. In de afgelopen jaren is de wijn en culinaire wereld aanzienlijk gegroeid. Waardoor het ontzettend moeilijk kan zijn om juist dit soort ervaringen te kunnen vinden. Dit is waar de kennis en ervaring van V&J ter pas komt. Of je nu dineert in een restaurant met uitzicht over het Aconcagua gebergte in Argentinië of een wit truffelfeest voorbereidt in de Monferrato provincie na een dag truffel jagen. Het zijn de ervaringen eromheen die er onvergetelijke herinneringen van maken. Door de jaren heen hebben we geweldige vriendschappen opgebouwd met wijnspecialisten, eigenaren en restauranteigenaren. Door deze relaties kunnen wij uw ongeëvenaarde toegang met voorkennis bieden. Onze wijngaardenbezoeken worden geheel naar uw palet samengesteld, waarbij we toegang bieden tot prestigieuze wijngaarden, soms een vatproeverij als de gelegenheid zich voordoet. Omdat ik in de gelegenheid ben om, dit te combineren met mijn passie voor ontdekken, kreeg ik de unieke kans om deze culinaire ervaringen met jullie te delen. Samen met uw inspiratie en ideeën, stellen we de meest unieke culinaire reizen samen, zodat u zowel de verfijnde keuken van de regio als de meest rustieke tradities ervaart.

Não é invulgar encontrar também extensas formações rochosas fundidas com camadas de arenito e basalto vulcânico. A Namíbia ganhou, inegavelmente, o seu apelido de “a terra de muitas faces”. A Namíbia encontra-se na costa ocidental do continente africano e é uma nação verdadeiramente única.

Aventuras Únicas Expedições de Iate Explore Comunicações Sobre Nós EN PT NL Início - Comunicações - Taste the World Taste the World as a Connoisseur December-2020 Food is everything we are. It’s an extension of nationalist feeling. Ethnic feeling, your personal history, your province, your region, your tribe, your grandma. It’s inseparable from those from the get-go. - Anthony Bourdain - One of the deepest passions that I have developed over the years is for wine and the culinary of the world – always looking for those hidden gems. We visited fantastic vineyards and sometimes tasted wines at the most magnificent locations; and visited restaurants that are now amongst the best in the world. During our travels we met craftsmen and women who run restaurants that have been passed down in the family for decades. One of my fondest memories was when I was recommended a dish, which I was really impressed with the idea of eating something like that the simplicity but at the same time the overwhelming flavours was an experience by itself. I was then explained by the owner that the recipe came from the year 1934, created by the very first chef of the restaurant, and it is still sharing a main stage in that kitchen today – those restaurant owners (family) are now good friends of ours and we visit them with other family members and friends regularly. The diversity of some regions make them unique and on the same immediate region of a family owned business, we could find restaurants that have been awarded several Michelin star and present works of art that are paired with the most beautiful and also the most surprising regional wines. There is a special joy in visiting vineyards run by the same family for over 500 years and experiencing tastes at the most memorable locations, accompanied by wine specialists, the enologists and vineyard owners. It is moments like this, over a delicious glass of wine and canapés, that you can create friendships and great memories. If you really want to discover a destination, you must first discover the kitchen. A destination's cuisine tells you so much about its history, culture and people – I am a big believer in sampling the local delicacies and dishes of every place I visit. In recent years, the wine and culinary world has grown significantly, making it incredibly difficult to find precisely these kinds of experiences. This is where V&J's knowledge and experience comes in handy. Whether you are dining in a restaurant overlooking the Aconcagua Mountains in Argentina or preparing a white truffle feast in the Monferrato province after a day of truffle hunting, it is the experience around that will make it an unforgettable memory. Over the years we have built great friendships with wine specialists and restaurant owners. These relationships allow us to provide you with unparalleled insider access. Our vineyard visits are tailored entirely to your palette, offering access to prestigious wineries and sometimes even a barrel tasting if the opportunity arises. Because I have the opportunity to combine this with my passion for discovery, I have the unique opportunity to share these culinary experiences with others. Together with we put together the most unique culinary journeys to experience both the refined cuisine of the region and the most rustic traditions. Words by: Jasper Sigon Countries where we provide these experiences: Argentina, Australia, Chile, Croatia, France, Germany, Italy, New Zealand, North America, Portugal and Spain. < Previous Article Next Article > RNAVT 7818 Empresa registada em Portugal Política de Privacidade Termos e Condições > Contacte-nos info@voyagesjourneys.com +351 917 800 008

Deze activiteiten zijn onder meer, het assisteren bij het herstel van koraalriffen op de Malediven of de Fiji-eilanden, de Afrikaanse bush ingaan en dierenartsen en rangers helpen om tags in de oor van een neushoorn te plaatsten in Zuid-Afrika, bezoek baanbrekende opvangcentra ‘s voor wilde dieren die olifanten, neushoorns en vele andere dieren in het wild redden, beschermen en rehabiliteren in Kenia of ontdek de schoonheid van onze onderwaterwereld zoals de Cocos-eilanden of de Stille Zuidzee samen met mariene biologen en wetenschappers en ervaar uit de eerste hand over het behoud van het oceaanleven, doe vrijwilligerswerk en help bij het behoud van zeeschildpadden in São Tomé & Principe. “Sadly, there are still a lot of so-called sea turtle experiences where tourists are allowed to engage in activities that represent a serious problem and are not really helpful.” – Vanessa Mestre Through the last years we build a unique network of wildlife scientists, veterinarians, rangers, wildlife photographers and conservation projects that are experts in handling wildlife, so that you can interact with them on a way that you have never imagined before, and in a safe manner – creating truly life changing experiences. Onze ecosystemen herbergen niet alleen dieren in het wild en prachtige landschappen, ze omvatten ook lokale gemeenschappen, uit onze ervaring hebben natuurbehoudsinspanningen het ultieme effect wanneer de getroffen gemeenschappen het werk zelf actief ondersteunen en leiden, deze aanpak heeft echt het meeste effect! Bijvoorbeeld in Kenia, waar de lokale bevolking die vroeger wilde dieren jaagde om te overleven, nu worden heropgeleid tot boswachters of dierenopvangmedewerkers die nu hun leven wijden aan het behoud van dieren in het wild en hun omgeving, de bewoners van de Malediven van Moorea in Fiji die complete koraalriffen herstellen of in São Tomé & Principe, waar voormalige vissers die vroeger op schildpadden jaagden, nu deel uitmaken van het team dat helpt om de soort te behouden. Maar zoals we allemaal weten, zijn er in sommige landen meestal financiële beperkingen. Om verantwoord te reizen, of hoe wij het graag noemen 'reis met een doel', helpen en ondersteunen we de benodigde beschermingsinspanningen zoals het scholen en trainen van rangers, het financieren van de benodigde uitrusting voor de K9 en ranger teams, voedsel voor de dieren, benodigdheden en onderhoud voor dierenartsen en opvangcentrums voor dieren in het wild. Door te reizen met V&J doneer je direct aan deze natuurbeschermingsorganisaties die in staat zijn om de lokale gemeenschappen deel te laten nemen en te laten profiteren van natuurbehoud, dit is echt net zo fundamenteel als het kunnen leven en overleven van wilde dieren in hun omgeving.

Unieke Avonturen Jacht Expedities Ontdek De Numinous Wie Zijn Wij EN PT NL Home - Ons - Waarom Reizen met Ons Waarom Reizen met Ons Wij zijn hier om jou naar de uiteinden van de wereld te brengen en je doelbewust door de meest bijzondere paradijzen te leiden. Voor ons is reizen meer dan een passie, het is een educatief hulpmiddel om meer te leren over onszelf, onze planeet en haar adembenemende biodiversiteit en diversiteit, die de ervaring echt enorm verrijken. Geboren uit twee oprichters die over de hele wereld hebben gereisd en nog steeds reizen, zijn ze erop uit om het luxe reizen te transformeren “er is zoveel meer mogelijk dan men weet” – Vanessa Mestre Tijdens onze reizen hebben we werkelijk adembenemende plekken bezocht, interactie gehad met culturen die ons echt een zijde van het leven hebben geleerd dat voor ons totaal onbekend was, er waren momenten die ons leven echt veranderd hebben. Wat ons compleet overrompeld heeft, is de impact die onze aanwezigheid had op de lokale gemeenschap en het milieu. Tijdens onze reizen in Sumatra, Indonesië, bezochten we het UNESCO Leuser World Heritage-ecosysteem, de laatste plek op aarde waar tijgers, olifanten, orang-oetans en neushoorns nog in het wild samenleven. De FKL-rangers die ons door de dichte jungle leidden, toonden ons de werkelijk magische band tussen dieren in het wild en hun ecosysteem en het belang om het te beschermen. Jammer genoeg kregen we ook de vernietiging van hun ecosysteem te zien, illegale stroperij en de impact van grote industrieën, het is een beeld dat je nooit zult vergeten. Momenten als deze maakten ons bewust van hoe impactvol het is om doelgericht te reizen, en Voyages & Journeys weerspiegelt de waarden en ervaringen waar wij voor staan. Momenten gecreëerd door jouw inspiratie Waar hou je van? Wat vind je niet leuk? Wat is je passie? Waar ligt jouw nieuwsgierigheid? Dit zijn enkele van de vragen die bij het plannen van een perfecte reis komen kijken. We willen het echt allemaal weten. We beginnen altijd met een kennismakingsgesprek onder het genot van een lunch, een borrel of middels een videogesprek om uit te leggen wie we zijn en waar V&J voor staat dan beginnen we met een blanco vel papier, waar we geheel op basis van jouw inspiratie en ideeën jouw avontuur creëren. Bij V&J zijn we er trots op dat elke reis of elk spectaculair avontuur volledig door onszelf wordt gecreëerd, we werken niet met kant-en-klare routes of de reisroute van iemand anders. Uw inspiratie bepaalt de richting waarin wij de onvergelijkbare route op creëren die de meest deskundige reiziger uitdaagt. Our expertise makes it possible Whether it is sailing to Antarctica to witness the Solar Eclipse, going on a diving expedition around the Cocos Islands, guiding you to the far edges of Lapland, or through the wilderness of British Columbia; we understand more than ever that it takes a team of world experts to please the truly curious minds. Archaeologists, astronomers, anthropologists, marine biologists, professional photographers, naturalists and amazing conservation projects, the list goes on. Together with our unique network of specialists and industry partners, we outmanoeuvre the most challenging obstacles and turn them into exciting opportunities. Elke dag gaan zijn wij op zoek naar het nieuwe en opwindende De evolutietheorie van Charles Darwin stelt dat evolutie plaatsvindt door natuurlijke selectie. Individuen in een soort vertonen variatie in fysieke kenmerken. (…) Als gevolg daarvan overleven de individuen die het meest geschikt zijn voor hun omgeving, en als ze voldoende tijd krijgen, zal de soort geleidelijk evolueren. Dit is een goede analogie voor de liefde voor reizen, er is altijd iets nieuws en spannends om te ontdekken en te ervaren. In Jasper zijn eigen woorden "Het is een honger die nooit stilstaat" Elke dag communiceert ons team met specialisten en lokale gemeenschappen, zijn we op zoek naar het buitengewone, kijken we hoe we toegang kunnen krijgen tot de meest opmerkelijke locaties ter wereld en hoe we daar een onvergetelijke ervaring om heen kunnen creëren. Tijdens onze reizen kijken wij zeer nauwkeurig hoe we de lokale gemeenschap en lokale natuurbeschermingsprojecten kunnen helpen, zodat we ervoor zorgen dat het milieu en de lokale gemeenschap profiteren van onze reizen. Opgericht in 2017 en constant verhogen wij de lat Dag in dag uit, jaar na jaar ontwikkelen wij voortdurend onze kennis, openen we steeds meer deuren die voor de meesten gesloten zijn, ontwikkelen we avonturen die niet voor de zwakzinning zijn, reizen die de zeven continenten verbinden met onze oceanen. Wij bieden onze klanten ervaringen die veranderen in herinneringen en verhalen die een leven lang meegaan, reizen zoals ze nog nooit eerder hebben meegemaakt.

Home - V&J in Press - BOAT International BOAT International October-2023 Luckily not everything that goes wrong is quite so life-and-death. Sometimes it’s about managing expectations. - Sam Fortescue - Even the most experienced adventurers face the odd mishap at sea. BOAT talked to our Co-Founder Jasper Sigon on how V&J endures their own challenges on the water. Luckily not everything that goes wrong is quite so life-and-death. Sometimes it’s about managing expectations. Jasper Sigon of bespoke yacht charter specialist Voyages and Journeys remembers a client getting hot and bothered about a delayed flight home via Paris after an expedition. "We ended up arranging a private lunch at L'Ambroisie to kill the extra time and everyone was super happy." - Written by Sam Fortescue and published in the article, Epic passages: around the world in 80 mistakes , from Boat International . Today, we see a lot of individuals or even travel agencies marketing yacht charter services on the mainstream media channels. Since Covid-19 it has become an upcoming market in the travel industry, especially now that these concepts are trending. We even see it on the yacht exhibitions, like Fort Lauderdale and the Monaco yacht show. In Jasper’s personal opinion is not a good development because, there is so much more to it than to just to provide a yacht charter. Unfortunately, for most of the time, these entities will offer a yacht and a destination, then the Client will be forwarded to a Broker to sign the charter contract and they will take care for the basic preparations for the charter and then during the charter the Captain will see what the possibilities are for anchor points. This is such a sad development and definitely not worth the amount of money you pay for a yacht charter. It is not the responsibility of the Broker - the Broker is there for the crew, maintenance and yacht management as service to the owner. It is V&J's responsibility to provide an unforgettable itinerary, and that is why we always have a V&J maritime specialist onboard - to support the Captain and Crew wherever needed and guide them through the itinerary. This way, the Captain and Crew can purely focus on the comfort during the sailing route, what is essential. “You consult an accountant when you need help with your money and a lawyer when you need help with legal issues. Therefore, you should consult a yacht specialist to plan your yacht charter vacation and build your experience portfolio. – Jasper Our Co-Founder, Jasper, has 7 years’ experience at land at sea, by working onshore and offshore drilling platforms located in the harshest environments, like the North Sea. Vanessa, the other V&J Co-Founder, brings more than 11 years of experience of not only operating but also managing operations in remote areas of the world where in addition to the logistic changes, one may have to plan for piracy threat. According to both, there is no bigger challenge that to plan drilling operations offshore where all the planets need to be perfectly aligned. Their background brings to V&J a unique set of skills and knowledge from operations at sea. “Here’s a saying among the boating fraternity that sailors come in two varieties: those who have run aground and those who lie about it. The idea has been claimed and attributed to numerous salty characters down the years but, regardless of its origin, it illuminates a fundamental truth about yachting. That sooner or later, things will go wrong.” – Sam Fortescue, Freelance marine writer Chartering a yacht is a process, where we take every tiny detail in consideration and carry them all out in house. The process of chartering a yacht with V&J goes as follows: 1. Start to understand Client’s past yacht experiences, in order to manage expectations and explain how the process looks like with us. 2. Define the type of yacht that will fit the best with the wishes, budget, destination to explore, and most importantly, the best weather window for such an expedition. 3. Contact the central Broker and Owner of the chosen yacht to confirm requirements and request a draft of the yacht charter contract. What is the difference between a Broker and a central yacht Broker? The central Broker is the direct yacht management company of the yacht, the one that has a direct line with the owner. The majority of all yacht Brokers always have to go to the central yacht Broker. If possible, we try to eliminate this step because it represents a big hazzard for planning and it has many ingredients to jeopardize the ideal planning. We strive to ensure a direct line of communication; one of the keys aspects to safely and successfully operate in maritime environments. 4. After gathering all the information, we will sit down and go through every little detail with the Client, advise and even negotiate on behalf if needed. 5. When every party involved agrees to the terms, before signing the contract we will schedule a site visit to the yacht (if possible), so that the Client can meet the crew and get an impression of the yacht. 6. When the Client gives the green light, the contract will be signed, and the first payments will be made. 7. In the meantime we will start creating the voyage and map out the anchor points, permits, supplies, activities, third parties, docking, flights, safety procedures, etc. This normally happens when you step aboard your vessel and discuss the possibilities with the captain while spending your first night in docks. At V&J we do this inhouse; we operate with our own harbour agencies and local partners around the world, and we communicate this directly to the captain onboard in advanced. Like this we have everything in our control, a direct line of communications, this also takes away some stress points for the captain so that he/ she can fully concentrate on the voyage. 8. When everything is double checked and approved by the Client and owner of the yacht, we request the last payment and confirm every detail. 9. At the end of the voyage, we will receive the APA overview (Advance Provisioning Allowance) - this is the part of the total yacht payment required to cover the flexible costs for preparations, requested supplies, port fees, mooring, permits, fuel, communications, third party services, itinerary, food, beverages, etc. We will go over this overview with the client to see if everything is correct, and the remaining value will be transferred back to the Client. A very important aspect for V&J is that we always suggest adding marine conservation efforts into our yacht expeditions. During the first contacts with the Client, we evaluate the possibility and interest to donate a pre-defined amount of time and space onboard (if applicable) to local or international marine conservation projects. This initiative always results in unforgettable experiences for the Client, such as tagging Tiger Sharks or testing new equipment, restoring Coral Reefs, or creating observation reports about unreachable parts of the ocean. It brings the Client directly in touch with marine life, and it is a true life-enhancing experience. To ensure a memorable yachting experience there is always a V&J yacht specialist onboard during the voyage, so that the Client always has a central point of communication, and the Captain and Crew will have a Focal Point to rely for special operations or to deal with Client’s wish-list. As the article from Boat international describes, we can never rule out something going wrong or not going according to plan, especially while afloat and being depending on weather. This is where knowledge and experience come in. We know very well how to anticipate and prepare for these situations and to voyages to the ends of the earth and outside the main sailing routes, so we can always adapt and act on it. “Expect the unexpected and prepare. These are standard practices operating offshore.”- Jasper Sigon < Previous Article Next Article >

Home - The Numinous - Carlo Huisman Carlo Huisman March-2021 Last week, on the other side of the world, in New Zealand, Carlo Huisman and the Emirates Team New Zealand won the American Cup for the second time in a row – a sailing trophy that has been competing for 170 years and it is the most prestigious prize in the sailing sport. This 36th edition was even more special, once that the spectacular race happened in front of their own home audience, in Waitemata Harbour in Auckland, City of Sails. Past January, we had the amazing opportunity to ask Carlo some questions, and now you can get to know more about this incredible talented sailor, the sailing sport and about New Zealand itself. Carlo Huisman started sailing when he was around 6 years old on the Friese Meren (lakes in the north of The Netherlands ). His dad used to take him and his older brother for sailing trips on platbodems (flat bottom sailing boat ), which in combination with the sailing camps during the summer period made him develop outstanding sailing skills. When Carlo was eleven years old, he started to get more competitive and by the time he turned 16, him and his brother were training in a 470 (double-handed monohull) and competing on a national level. It ended as quickly as it started, until he got invited to join a short offshore race, the Lighthouse Race – that was a turning point and when he really started to enjoy sailing on another level and began to sail exclusively sailing yachts. Today, Carlo Huisman has been a professional sailor for about six years, but he already has a trophy cabinet that only a few can match. He is known as one of the most gifted sailors in the world and together with his Emirates Team New Zealand he won not once but twice, one of the oldest and legendary regattas in the world of sailing – the 35th and the 36th edition of the America Cup – but he also won the Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race with record holder Super Maxi Wild Oats; the Med on a Maxi 72; and he participated in the notorious Volvo Ocean Race with Team Brunel. Where does the passion and love for sailing come from? I started sailing at a young age and loved being out on the water. Sailing is a challenging sport which I really enjoy. I have played many different sport’s, but none give me as many challenges as sailing. I think this is the main reason I’ve always come back to sailing, I really believe it’s the most complete and ultimate challenge. You live in the beautiful country of New Zealand, full of exceptional environments. Did you already picked a favourite place to find tranquillity? New Zealand is fantastic and without a doubt one of the best places in the world. I would say my favourite place is the Hauraki Gulf where we train daily with Emirates Team New Zealand. The sailing conditions are perfect, and the scenery is as well. Three years ago, you won the 35th edition of the prestige America Cup, directly after you got selected by Bouwe Bekking for Team Brunel to sail the most challenging race in the world, The Volvo Ocean Race. How was that experience? I was extremely happy to get the opportunity to be part of a Volvo campaign. I never thought I would accomplish this same as the America’s Cup, but it was always a dream of mine. To be able to do both of these amazing sailing challenges back-to-back was unbelievable. Also, the quality of the campaigns I was joining could not be better. First the AC with Emirates Team New Zealand, which is an extremely experienced and well organized team. Then to join Bouwe Bekking for a Volvo, I learned so much from him and he is a fantastic skipper. It was pretty full on. The Volvo was a completely different challenge from the AC. During the AC you work extremely hard, but you still have your moments where you relax and can put your attention and mind to other things. The Volvo I found completely takes over your life and there is nothing else. You put your personal life on hold and focus completely on the race. It’s an extreme challenge and without a doubt the hardest thing I have ever done. We had some pretty bad weather during our lap, to my surprise I never got seasick. The biggest struggle was probably managing sleep. I got better at it after the first few legs but in the beginning I struggled with the lack of sleep a lot. From the start of Cape Town, I really started to enjoy the race a lot more and get comfortable in my role. The Southern Ocean legs and Transat were my favourite, and I liked the equator legs the least. In the end every leg had something special and the highs and lows often follow each other closely. Obviously, I was pretty green when I joined, I had done some offshore races but nothing like the Volvo. It’s quite intimidating but I like a challenge and tried to learn as much as I could from my teammates. It was nice to be part of Team Brunel with some others coming straight out of the AC like me, Peter Burling and Kyle Langford. Seeing them struggle in the beginning made me accept my own mistakes better as well. The way we developed as a team was something pretty special and I have a lot of respect for Bouwe that he kept us together even though the first legs weren't very good. You sailed the famous Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race with a record holder Wild Oats Maxi Yacht - how did you experience this in comparison with sailing a VO65? When they asked me to become bowman for Wild Oats, I was very happy but also intimidated by the role. I knew that it was going to be different from the VO65 and that I would join a very experienced and close team. The guys on the boat sailed together for many years and are all like family. In the beginning it was a bit difficult to mix in and also to learn all the aspects of the boat only a few weeks before the race started. The boat is pretty technical, and you have to communicate very well with the other crew to avoid mistakes. Things can go bad pretty quickly if you make a small mistake or get the timing wrong. After sailing a practice race, we made some significant changes to the boat and sail wardrobe that made it both perform better and also a lot easier to manage the work on the bow. I was impressed that the team and skipper were happy to listen to my feedback. Before there were some peels that were an absolute nightmare. The boat is extremely skinny on the bow and you literally don’t have enough room for the sails, so you have to manage this very carefully. The few days practice we had and changes we made proved crucial because it was a very close race. To sail my first Hobart with Wild Oats and win the Line Honours was unreal, the team did a great job. I feel very fortunate to get all these opportunities and always try to do the very best that I can. What is your favourite highlight so far? I have so many great moments that it would be hard to pick one. Winning the Cup, winning the Southern Ocean Leg with Brunel, becoming world champion with Maxi72 Momo. I just want to keep going and keep improving as a sailor. The world is in the grasp of COVID-19, but gradually there is some light at the end of the tunnel. What is next for you? I have several pretty exciting things lined up for after the Cup but some of it depends on how Covid develops. If the situation becomes better, I’m sure I will be doing a lot of sailing during the European summer. I look forward to the defence of this Cup first and that has my full attention. < Previous Article Next Article >
