Martin Hollenhorst, male, 64

Ref 18866

Nationality: Germany
Currently based in: Wiesbaden, Germany
Looking for: Worldwide opportunities
Experience: 38000 ocean miles / 10000 coastal miles
We changed course to full time cruising from 2016 to 2020 and sailed our Boreal 52 „Cheglia“ (our 3rd yacht) about 26.000 NM from Europe to Africa, Caribbean, Puerto Rico, Bahamas, USA, Nova Scotia / Newfoundland and back to Caribbean, Colombia, Panama, Galapagos, Tuamutos, Polynesia with all the remote atolls, Tonga, Minerva, New Zealand. Corona stopped us, we shipped the boat to Europe and sold her 2021, due to family constrains. We chartered Catamarans occasionally and delivered boats. From Ocean sailing to sailing fast: a new Pogo 36 is currently being built, ready for sea trials in July 2024. In September/October she will be sailed to Marina Olympic in Lavrios, Greece. Martin
