The latest episode of YACHT - The sailing podcast is now online: Our guest is Lisa Berger, a special mini-transat sailor

In the sixth episode, podcast host Timm Kruse and Lisa Berger take you on an exciting journey to the Mini-Transat. The famous single-handed regatta leads from La Palma to Guadeloupe. Lisa Berger came 44th - making her Austria's first female Mini-Transat finisher. She shares not only the difficulties with winds and navigation that she experienced on her journey, but also the moving moment of her arrival and her future plans.

Her reflections on the dangers of success, modesty and respect for the element of water round off the interview in the episode "Of waves and willpower: Lisa Berger on her experiences during the Mini-Transat". The 33-year-old answers the following questions, among others: What did arriving in Guadeloupe mean to her personally after all the challenges? How was the conversation with Boris Herrmann, and what advice did he give her for her sailing career?

The Austrian from Lake Attersee also reveals how she uses mental coaching to boost her self-confidence and how her experiences at sea have influenced her outlook on life.

These topics await you in the sixth episode:

  • Lisa Berger's roots and her beginnings in sailing on Lake Attersee
  • Difficulties with winches and navigation
  • Fears when sailing solo
  • The psychological aspects of sailing
