Wolf Knipfer

Wolf has been travelling on the water since he was 14 years old. As a Hamburg native, he naturally started with dinghies on the Alster, before moving on to sailing yachts and motor yachts.

After working abroad and taking a long break, he started sailing again in his mid-fifties, this time professionally.

He is just as at home in the Baltic and North Sea as he is in the Mediterranean and the North Atlantic. He specialises in long-distance sailing and has sailed numerous Atlantic crossings in both directions. All in all, he has travelled 100,000 nautical miles.

His special interests are blue water sailing and weather navigation.

His extensive knowledge of foreign languages (Spanish, Portuguese, English) is a great help, especially in the Caribbean and South America.
