Bobby Schenk in his element: With a simple method he developed himself, he has already taken away the fear of astronomical navigation from many beginners.
In October, Germany's prominent long-distance sailor will take to the stage for the last time before his sailing retirement to give his 19th blue water seminar at the Hanseatic Yacht School in Glücksburg. In addition to numerous experts, Golden Globe winner Kirsten Neuschäfer will also be giving a talk. There are still places available.

Years of experience

The speakers include 14 circumnavigators, five of whom are Cape Horn sailors. This makes the seminar a first-class opportunity to learn from the impressively described long-distance sailing experiences of Bobby Schenk and other true professionals, gathered over decades.

High-calibre speakers

In addition to Martin Birkhoff, the former chairman of the Trans Ocean Association, Kirsten Neuschäfer, the winner of the Golden Globe Race 2022-2023, will also be among the speakers.

Numerous successes

With his blue water seminar, Schenk developed an event many years ago that has become a real model for success. More than 3000 prospective long-distance sailors have attended Schenk's courses. And a whole series of participants in earlier events have since been on successful blue water cruises themselves or even sailed around the world.
