In 2016, neither Andreas nor Caroline – better known on Instagram as @sailing_zen - had ever tried to own or sail a sailing boat. Yet, the appeal of living on and near the water became the factor that eventually moved the Copenhagen-based couple away from living in an actual apartment and soon called their boat “home”.

Sometimes, an idea ends up going way further than anyone had imagined. This is very much the case about the spinnaker we had on auction at Boat Show Denmark back in February.

Ingen havde forventet det her udfald, da vi lavede en auktion til Boat Show Denmark i Fredericia i starten af 2023. Vi udloddede i samarbejde med holdet bag Havana og Kurs mod Fjerne Kyster den spiler, som vi lavede til Havana i TV2-programmet.

What happens when your passion for daycruising and the smaller adventures quickly turn into an Instagram hit?

While the majority of our adventurous clients tend to head for warm weather and tropic climate in – for instance – the Caribbean, some go for the opposite. A good case in point is the story of the SV Eden, led by skipper Bernard Hensey, who’s looking back at 3.000 miles of Elvstrøm Sails-powered performance cruising to Alaska and back.

Julia and Markus Luckeneder from Austria are not doing blue water cruising in the same way most adventurers do it.
