Andy Henkel

Brain, muscle & great vibes

If you are looking for the absolute gold standard of a crew member, look no further than Andy, I cannot recommend him highly enough. From the moment he stepped on deck, Andy stood out for his exceptional punctuality and reliability. He doesn't just show up on time; he shows up fully prepared and ready to work. Here is what makes Andy an invaluable asset to any crew: * Proactive & Hands-On: Andy doesn't wait to be told what to do. He possesses an incredible "hands-on" mentality, constantly scanning the boat to see where he can help, maintain, or improve things before a task even becomes a necessity. * Out-of-the-Box Thinker: When unexpected challenges arose at sea, Andy’s problem-solving skills shone. He thinks outside the box, offering creative, clever solutions to complex situations that kept us moving safely and efficiently. * Strong & Practical: He is physically strong, capable, and possesses a deep well of practical knowledge. Whether hauling lines, managing heavy gear, or fixing mechanical quirks, Andy handles it all with ease and confidence. * Fantastic Company: Beyond his top-tier sailing capabilities, Andy is a phenomenal conversationalist. During long watches or downtime at anchor, his engaging, witty, and thoughtful conversation kept team morale incredibly high. The Bottom Line: Andy is the rare combination of muscle, brains, initiative, and great vibes. He elevates the performance of the entire boat and we've been laughing together for 10 days straight! What an Ausflug!
