Walter Super – May 2024

You can always wake me up

Or rather; you should always wake me up. When in doubt or with a question. This is what Skipper Angela Brandsma said during her safety briefing, on my just purchased sailboat Garcia Explorer 45 in Barcelona. I wanted to sail the boat to the Netherlands under the guidance of a qualified skipper.

I choose Angela Brandsma – Skipper Plus. The plus is in 4 weeks of lessons in ocean sailing in light and heavy conditions. In getting to know the Shaman. In making her better. Angela does it diligently. “You may, you must always wake me up.”   She was always there, everywhere and in highest state of readiness. For 2,000 miles. 

Skippers for delivery’s are plentiful I have discovered. Plus skippers don’t. Who do more than you ask. Who make you and your ship better. Angela plus. 

It was a great sailing trip, I felt safe at all times and the boat was always under total control. Angela plus. I highly recommend her.
