Meet the skipper

Steffen Liess

“Sailing has been an integral part of my life for a long time. I was an avid windsurfer and dinghy sailor in my youth. More recently, as the happy owner of a Moody 41AC, I skippered two Atlantic crossings and sailed the Mediterranean, Caribbean, and Baltic Seas. These experiences have fueled my adventurous spirit and strengthened my determination.

This determination was equally essential during my years as a young athlete when I underwent intensive training to compete in numerous European and world swimming championships.

After achieving success in financial services as an equity sales specialist, I transitioned into high-performance sports management. I held positions such as National High Performance Director of Swiss Aquatics and Chief of the Swiss aquatic teams at the 2012 and 2016 Olympic Games.

Today, in addition to my professional activities in elite sports, I am thrilled to co-manage the highly exciting Enola Sailing Project with my partner in crime Gregory, and be able to share our common love for sailing and for cherishing the oceans with our dear members.”
