Born and raised in Germany, Christian has been actively racing since 1962. Beginning in dinghies, and on offshore 40- to 57-foot yachts since 1968, in 1978 he began skippering some of those offshore yachts. He has been responsible for campaigns in the tidal waters of southern
England, the English Channel, North Sea, Skagerak and off the Atlantic
coast of Florida (Ft. Lauderdale to Key West), as well as the Mediterranean,
the Baltic and the Great Lakes. He has participated in From his current home in the southern Chesapeake Bay in 1998, he began campaigning his Hobie 33 wherever that ULDB one-design class has been racing. In 2001, that meant over 70 races. Most recently, he won the Hobie 33 Midwinters at the St. Petersburg NOOD regatta. With sailing, he says, "Some interests were initially forced
upon me, but I grew to like them -- such as aero- and hydrodynamics,
astronomical and celestial navigation, weather, tide current prediction,
developing race-tactical software, rating questions, race rules,
boat maintenance in all areas and, above all, seamanship. In another
hundred years I may have it all figured out, but I am not quite
100 yet." He is proud to report that his teenage daughters
have shown interest in some of his activities
