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”.
Today was supposed to be the start of the Global Solo Challenge effort for Ronnie Simpson and his Elvstrøm Sails-powered “Shipyard Brewing”, but due to harsh weather conditions, the skippers in the start have decided to postpone their starts.
The nominees for the sport section of Der Deutsche Nachhaltigkeitspreis - the German Sustainability Award for 2024 have just been named, and one of the contenders for the award this year is a German startup which sails under power from Elvstrøm Sails.
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.
