This happy Dutchie is maybe tiny of posture, but a grand addition to the team!
Nadia is a capable and passionate sailor, making her an invaluable member of our crew. At 23 years old, she brings both youth and experience to the team, having already gained considerable knowledge and skills from her time on the Wylde Swan and the training ship Danmark. These early sailing experiences laid the foundation for her growth as a sailor, and she has quickly built on that, blending seamlessly into the dynamic environment on board.
Since joining in the summer of 2023 in Cape Town, Nadia has proven herself to be an adaptable and skilled crew member. Her journey with us has already taken her to some incredible destinations—Montevideo, Fiji, Tahiti, Auckland—and she’s now gearing up for her second season in Antarctica. In a short time, she’s earned the respect of her colleagues for her work ethic and her ability to handle challenging conditions.
