Dr. Jörg Wolff is the director of YACHTSPORT RESORT and also in charge of the training programme. As an enthusiastic catamaran and later cruise sailor, he's been closely involved with yachting since early youth. In 1980 he founded Nautikschule Wolff (nautical school), the predecessor of our academy, and has since maintained contacts with associations, clubs, class organisations and shipyards. With YACHTSPORT RESORT he is fulfilling his vision of a shared "yachting culture" for sailing and motorboat sportsmen.
Since 2008 he has been heading the Association of Swiss Motorboat and Sailing Schools (VSMS, see www.bootsfahrschulen-schweiz.ch in German only) and has been advocating the introduction of the occupational title "Federally-certified boating and sailing instructor".
