Since 1991 the passion for sailing, friendship and partnership has bonded the founders of Marinepool together.

About the Skipper

Roland Gaebler raced in the German event in 2009 and skippered Team Wirsol from shore, due to illness, last season. Having won over 50 international titles since 1981, including a Bronze Olympic medal, will mean the team will benefit from his well-rounded experience.

About the Team

This is a new combination of crew sailing together, although they all have previous Extreme 40 experience. Bruno and Sebbe have an exceptional racing pedigree from Round the World races to the Olympics.  As the Series event boat they will have a different fourth crew member for each Act to introduce new sailors to the class in markets the circuit has not visited before.
