How It All Started
Already sailing the seas whilst in vitro, you could say Thomas was born on a boat. He spent his childhood discovering the Stockholm archipelago with his father in their Schärenkreuzer and when not on the water, they were maintaining and repairing their wooden sailboat. Still a teenager but already an employee of a Swedish sailing school, he taught many young sailors the intricacies of sailing and navigating the 30’000+ islands surrounding the Swedish capital. Not only this, but he managed to let his love for the raw beauty surrounding him to seep into all of his lessons.
Before studying engineering management at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, he spent a year teaching wind surfing in the Maldives. It was an opportunity to discover the almost infinite array of shapes and colours still existing at that time in the coral reefs.
Some sail to compete. Some sail to escape everyday demands. Thomas’s approach to sailing has always been to be one with the boat, the sea and the wind.

It has been his approach whilst guiding the boat through waters, but also when resting at bay. It was this “docked” aspect of sailing which never left him at ease and he realised early on, no captain is guaranteed peaceful anchoring.
And thus began the passion for safe anchoring.
