Whether travelling or racing, Günter Ahlers goes through thick and thin with his "Circe". On her side deck with tiller and sheet in his hands, he feels more alive than anywhere else, because, says the happy owner: "This is pure sailing!"

On board on the Flensburg Fjord, the agile duo's home waters, we explore their fascination with this minimalist and refined form of sailing.

You can read - and see - the insights in our "The special boat" section in YACHT 22, which is available in the DK shop, or you can download the boat portrait directly via the link below.
