Ahoy, I'm Tanja H.

Hey there​,​ I'm Tanja Holm​,​ a sailor​,​ impact entrepreneur​,​ and nature enthusiast based in Turku​,​ Finland. My journey into sailing began six summers ago when I set foot on a friend's Finngulf 335​,​ and since then​,​ I've been hooked on the thrill of the open sea. Since then​,​ I've sailed with multiple different boats​,​ mostly at the Baltic Sea and with multiple different crews and skippers. I enjoy sailing with a skipper who is a good communicator. My longest and most exotic sailing passage so far was when I helped to sail a boat from North of France to Helsinki. I handle the basic tasks on a sailboat. In good sailing conditions​,​ I can manage quite independently​,​ and I have a good overall understanding of sailing and being on a sailboat. In more challenging situations​,​ I follow instructions well and assist as long as I receive clear guidance from the skipper. Beyond sailing​,​ I'm deeply passionate about environmental sustainability and making a positive impact. As an impact entrepreneur​,​ I'm committed to promoting eco-conscious living and finding innovative ways to protect our planet. When I'm not out on the water​,​ you can find me indulging in my love for crafting​,​ particularly knitting. I enjoy organizing knitting events and building a community of fellow crafters who share my passion for handmade creations. And of course​,​ I can't forget about my furry companion – my dog and I love nothing more than exploring the great outdoors together​,​ soaking in the beauty of nature. I enjoy meeting new people​,​ and I'm interested in improving my sailing skills and continuous learning​,​ especially in navigation. As my lifetime bucket list goal is to sail on 7 different seas I'm open to international adventures and meeting crews and skippers internationally. In the Autumn of 2024 I plan a trip to Zanzibar and I would love to include sailing as part of my plans as well 🫣
