27 years old, student in astronomy at Aarhus university.

Senne is the most racing orientated of us all, with participation both in EM & VM championships in different boat/dinghy types. If it was up to Senne, we’ll be racing around the world. Senne and Dennis knows each other from when they were scouts in Esbjerg – and they also raced as a team in the Wayfarer dinghy in their earlier years in Esbjerg. Senne and Dennis went for at long voyage together on S/Y SOL in 1995 - and when time permits they still race together.

Senne lives on sailing –when the weather is fine he can’t think on anything else than sailing – which can be a problem when you are supposed to study. He’s a quick thinking guy – and acts often accordingly. This is positive in many situations, but not always – e.g. when the roof on the boat is just painted and Senne gets the idea that the front window needs to be replaced – he begins immediately to drill/screw the windows out. This results in lots of aluminium chips out on the new painted roof!!
