From land to sea: How Fabian Baud turned his sailing dream into reality
This week we talk to Swiss deckhand Fabian Baud shares his unique journey into yachting, from single-handedly sailing the Mediterranean to pursuing his dream of working on 30m+ sail yachts and crossing the Atlantic.

“I love being able to share my experiences, especially with those who may share the same dream but are never able to realise it or may be a little scared to take their first step onto a yacht. So there’s much more to this project than racing and coming first. I consider myself the eyes of the sea for those who are stuck on land. I want to help open their eyes to the ocean, to share the emotions of sailing, racing, coping with being alone and overcoming challenges many people may never face or have been afraid to confront."
