Regatta Sailor

ON THE /
WATER

Nick Schuler grew up right on the shores of Lake Constance in Überlingen, and sailing was part of his life from an early age. He took his first tacks in the Optimist class, followed by the 420 class. Then he moved to foiling, where the boat lifts out of the water and takes off. Today he is one of Germany's most successful WASZP sailors. Upwind, reaching or downwind, he races across the waters of the world at speeds of up to 30 knots.

Beyond water sports, his passion also lies in the mountains. On ski and mountain tours, Nick Schuler shows the same determination, precision and reaction speed as in sailing, when the wind suddenly shifts and quick decisions are needed. In winter he also works as a ski patroller and knows from experience what matters in extreme situations and how to act correctly in an accident. This knowledge also helps him on the water.
