A small boat keeps the world big and I have always tried to keep the world as big as it possibly can be.

That’s my aim, not a big boat with which you circle the world as quickly as you can.


Thies Matzen / Wanderer III

Thies Matzen and his wife Kicki Ericson have sailed their 75-year-old wooden sailboat Wanderer III over 100,000 nautical miles, much of it in the Southern Ocean. They have overwintered in South Georgia, off Antarctica. Wanderer III is the smallest traditionally planked wooden sailboat to have sailed to Antarctica.
