My Team

Sabine Fuhrman

My better half Sabine, used to be a successful swimmer herself. And this is probably a prerequisite for understanding my "escapades". Tried and tested at taking and cushioning my mounting tension in the week leading up to the start. On the boat moral support, physio and chef de cuisine in one person

Marcel van der Togt

My trainer Marcel van der Togt from The Hague, NL. Marcel was the national trainer for open water swimming and coached Maarten van der Weijden, Olympic champion over 10 km in 2008. Marcel “of course” swam the English Channel himself and is the only one to have swum around the Jsselmeer in two weeks. What I appreciate about Marcel is his ability to develop people, his "sympathetic toughness" at the right time and his ability to react immediately to changing circumstances. One of his pieces of advice that I have internalized: "Plans that change are the only constant in life".

Rudiger Rossbach

Our life insurance at sea.....
