Sailing out of the CYCA he cut his teeth on racing with numerous major blue water events under his belt. Detlef has also delivered yachts throughout the Pacific and Asia accumulating over 40,000 sea miles.
Fine food and wine is another passion and you can be confident that any time on land or water with the debonair Detlef will usually include a great meal and an even greater bottle of wine or two.
