A Story of the Sea
and Challenges

It all began with a deep passion for the ocean and technical challenges. After studying naval engineering at Chalmers University in Sweden, I learned sailing by crewing on various yachts before earning my Yachtmaster certifications in the UK. I then spent several years working as a skipper and mechanic, sailing across the Mediterranean, the Caribbean, the Atlantic, the North Sea, and even to the far reaches of the Arctic.

During the complete refit of a 35-foot steel ketch, purchased for a ski-sailing expedition in the polar circle, it became clear: I not only had the skills, but more importantly, the desire to support other enthusiasts in their nautical projects—whether technical, educational, or exploratory.

The team

Today, I mainly work alone to ensure personalized support and a tailor-made approach. Depending on the mission, I occasionally collaborate with local experts (shipwrights, sailmakers, engine specialists) and qualified crew for long crossings or complex projects. This flexibility allows me to adapt to the size and specific needs of each project.

North on the Wind – A Journey into the Heart of the Northern Seas

A few years ago, I had the opportunity to share in BASE magazine the story of one of my most memorable voyages: a journey to the Northern Seas. Between long-distance sailing, spectacular landscapes, and technical challenges, this adventure remains etched in my memory.
