The Skipper Henk Boersma
Henk is Dutch born
1962. He speaks English, Dutch, Friesian, German, Portuguese and Spanish. After graduating he worked for 6 years as a freelance advertisement photographer in Amsterdam. He started sailing at the age of 12 and can look back on 21 years of sailing experience. Here in the south he sails since 1995.
While on a sailing trip of two years, he decided to give his nautical life a more permanent footing. The attraction of the extreme isolation and the beauty of unspoiled nature made it easy to take that decision.
The following countries are familiar to him due to previous sailing voyages: United Kingdom, Portugal, Morocco, Madeira, Canary Islands, Azores, Cape Verde, Senegal, Guinee Bissau, St. Helena, South Africa, Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina, Chile, Antarctica.
