About Karin & Stefan
Our Sailing Career
Our common sailing career began in 2011, the basic idea being to have new things in common even though our kids have left the nest. So, it was obvious to simply put things we both like to do on top of each other.
Karin loves to read travel documentaries and world travel reports; Stefan was passionate about building sailing ships as a child and teenager. Now, what could be more natural than to set sail together? Our first contact with a small sailing boat — a dinghy — was then quickly planned. We spent a week of holiday with trial sailing on Lake Neusiedl.
The sailing virus got hold of us…
During the time we ran our parents’ winery in the middle of the Wachau, we gathered extensive know-how. Winegrowing, wine pressing, as well as the hospitality of guests, were a sideline, but beloved activity. This probably explains the name of our yacht
