Blue water dream. The Roevers during their circumnavigation

You have tens of thousands of nautical miles in the wake. Have seen and experienced what most people only dream of: circumnavigators. To this day, the idea of sailing around the globe on your own keel and only with the power of the wind has lost none of its fascination.

On the contrary. More and more people in this country feel the urge to wander into the distance. To leave everyday life ashore. Throwing off the lines. At the recent traditional Lossegl meeting of the Trans-Ocean the rush was bigger than ever. And the big cruising sailor rallies, whether "just" across the Atlantic or "all around", have been attracting steadily for years.

The "Iron Lady", the old ship of Nathalie Müller and Michael Wnuk, in stormy seas

Nevertheless, very few people in this country have personally met a circumnavigator. That can be changed, however. Almost a dozen crews come to the YACHT-Bluewater who have followed the Passat on the barefoot route or even around Cape Horn and have closed the circle.

Ingrid and Jürgen Mohns (large portrait in YACHT 13/2016), for example, are with their "Josi" not only once but twice around the world. From 1992 to 2015, over 20 years, they were out and about in the most beautiful blue water areas. Sönke and Judith Roever followed the barefoot route with their "Hippopotamus" for three years from 2007 to 2010. Jimmy Cornell spent twice as long with his wife and two children on long journeys around the globe from the mid-seventies to the early eighties. The "Iron Lady" carried Nathalie Müller and Michael Wnuk almost all over the world for just as long.

The "Josi", with which Ingrid and Jürgen Mohns sailed twice around the world

You, the Mohns, Sönke Roever, Jimmy Cornell and Nathalie Müller, will all be at the upcoming YACHT-Bluewater, the big conference for long-distance sailors from June 10th to 12th in the MarinHohe Düne in Warnemünde. As if that weren't enough, more long-haul sailors have announced that they will head for the whole world or parts of it.

Above all, the following crews, who are members of Trans-Ocean, invite you to exchange experiences on board their boats: Marlene and Bert Frisch ("Heimkehr"), Anke and Martin Birkhoff ("Mago del Sur"), Sybille and Christian Uehr (" Subeki "), MarinBülow and Uwe Claes (" Alaya ") and Carolund Stefan Bormann (" Blue Perl l ").
