Germany

Susan began her sailing career as a young dinghy sailor. As a teenager she set her sights on excellence with the single-focus goal of representing Germany at the Olympic Games.

After 13 years of campaigning with Tina Lutz in the 49erFx – including winning the 2017 and 2020 European Championship – the pair qualified for the Rio 2020 Olympic Games and brought home silver medals.

In 2022 Beucke (31) began her second career as an offshore sailor with the goal of becoming the first German woman to win the solo Solitaire du Figaro – one of the most competitive events in the sport of sailing – before moving on to compete in the Vendée Globe.
