BIO
Wannes Van Laer: Hello, I'm Wannes Van Laer. My whole life I've been in contact with sailing. I was sailing before I could walk, although my father was driving the boat at the time. When I was six years old my parents gave me my first optimist. From then on I've spent all my free time on a boat. Over the years I was able to transform my hobby into my job. I've been a full-time sailor since 2010. I love slow boats, fast boats, flying boats, as long as it floats and needs the power of wind to move.Best Results
