I founded Sailing Dutchman out of love for sailing. I have been sailing since I was 6 years old. Like most sailors I started with the famous Optimist. As years passed, the boats became bigger, faster and more challenging. From Optimist to Laser to 470’s and later my biggest passion; the catamarans. Later in life I crossed over to sailing yachts.
