A Yachting agent specializing in the caribbean described Karl-Heinz Edler, as follows:

... for Karl Heinz safety, fun, pleasure and the freedom of the sailing are in the
foreground. Is there a sailor in the crew and wants to lead the ship, then go on !
Karl-Heinz always tries hard with all visitors - whether hobby Skipper or simple guest, whether travel
pro or greenhorn - to find the destinations for the sailing vacations together. The islands, bays,
ports, diving grounds etc., that are started determines always the crew. He supports you with his rich experience and his knowledge of a place.

The last decision remains - as also the responsibility - at Karl-Heinz. As a specialist in the technique

professional journals in Germany and Austria .
