DANISH DYNAMITE
The raw power of Danish Sailing
STRENGTH THROUGH TEAMWORK AND IMAGINATION
With a team of Olympic medalists and world class sailors from some of the toughest racing circuits in the world, the Danish team is world class. The great ethos of “the Danish model” within Danish sailing is based on the principle of sharing knowledge and gains to lift the overall level of Danish sailing. As a small country, teamwork and collaboration is key to our success and create a pathway for young talents to mix and learn from the sailing legends of Denmark. This is the way for a small country to become the best sailing nation in the world. Dream big and work together!
Our national pride and the opportunity to represent Denmark with a strong male and female crew is a true testament to our nation’s focus on gender equality and is seen in the strong Olympic history of our nation. The power of the Danish Dynamite will explode when we hit the starting line at the SSL Gold Cup.
