More about Sanni

She started out on small dinghies. As a teenager, she was determined to maximize her athletic abilities and represent Germany at the Olympics. And she did everything she could to achieve her goal. 13 years later- still sitting the the same boat with her long time sailing partner Tina Lutz - she won the silver medal in the 49erFX.
In the meantime she had never lost sight of offshore sailing.
In 2022 she moved to France, the Silicon Valley for sailing.
Sanni chose the Figaro 3 class to learnt from the best and took part in the legendary La Solitaire du Figaro.
Off the water, Sanni is fascinated how the psyche can influrence on ones performance and is a student of Psychology.
