“Sailing is more than a sport – it is freedom.”
Anaëlle Pattusch ( @ anaelle_pattusch ) grew up on Lake Geneva, where the water has always been her playground. "I spent my childhood on our family boat and always enjoyed holidays outdoors in nature," she says. Today, she steers her own sailboat across the waves—a Figaro 3, specially designed for regattas.
In addition to her love of the water, Anaëlle is a true sportswoman through and through. Whether skiing, cycling, or diving – she loves every challenge. "I'm always looking for the next adventure and the feeling of discovering something new," she reveals with a smile.
A fun fact with a jump into the water
Anaëlle is an adventurer who doesn't like to wait. "As a child, I was often so excited to explore a new harbor that I would simply jump into the water before the boat docked," she recalls with a laugh. The fact that things didn't always go smoothly only shows how impatient and curious she was even then.
"Oceans and trees are the lungs of our planet. Together we can make the world a little greener."
"The oceans are our playground, and it's up to us to protect them." As a sailor, Anaëlle has a close connection to nature, especially water. For her, sustainability means taking action and raising awareness. "Collecting plastic, recycling sails, and raising awareness – these are just a few initiatives that are close to my heart."
The collaboration with NIKIN is therefore a perfect fit for her. "Oceans and trees are the lungs of our planet. Together we can make the world a little greener."
“I love the Treeanie collection – it’s perfect for cold nights at sea!”
When talking about her favorite products, Anaëlle waxes lyrical. The Treeanie hats are not only practical but also stylish. "They keep me warm when the wind blows across the deck and remind me that fashion can also have an impact."
Why NIKIN Ambassador?
For Anaëlle, it was a heartfelt decision. "I share so many values with NIKIN—from a passion for nature to sustainability. I'm proud to represent a brand that stands for positive change." With her ambassador role, she wants to show that even small steps can have a big impact.
A life for nature – and beyond
"Determination, commitment, and mutual support – these are values I live by in my life and in sailing." Anaëlle inspires not only through her adventures, but also through her attitude. For her, nature is not just a place to explore, but a source of strength and responsibility.
Anaëlle Pattusch is a true ambassador for nature and sustainability. Her energy and passion embody what NIKIN stands for: the courage to think differently and the determination to stand up for the environment. Together with Anaëlle, we look forward to many joint projects – and to making the world a little greener, #treebytree.
