Board Member
Board MemberCasper Bach Pedersen
Weathered sailor with ocean crossings under his belt and Gammel Dansk in his blood.
As a teenager, together with his father he built a 46ft. sailing boat he lives on now. Casper is one of those finest and mega talented craftsmen who makes beautiful things with his hands and yet is very humble. He radiates with a fantastic maritime culture from a place where sailing and traditions are worshiped since Vikings.
Our international board of directors brings different perspectives to the table, yet we are united by passion for wooden boats and sailing.
Board MemberJacek Leszczyński
Being a supporter of Stewa Boats what Jacek brings to the table is essential. An objective view from an outside of the maritime environment.
This “outside-of-the-box” mentality provides an unbiased reference to our bearing.
