Tillykke til Helle Barner Jespersen, der til Sail Training Internationals årlige konferencen fik tildelt en fin pris for sit engagement i sejltræning og videreførelsen af traditioner med særligt fokus på de unge.
“Helle started her sailing career in 1982. Whilst she has worked on many different sailing vessels, to most people she are synonymous with one particular, Georg Stage (Denmark), where over the years she has fulfilled almost all positions from trainee, quartermaster, mate, chief mate and on one trip that of captain.A key member of the Danish national sail training organisation and a huge supporter of Sail Training International and The Tall Ships Races, over the years she has played a big part in ensuring that Georg Stage took part in the Tall Ships Races, and she has been a great advocate for crew exchanges amongst the participating fleet and all the benefits such an experience brings.”
