Bosun

Cyrill Sipka

Hailing from Zurich, Switzerland Cyrill recently joined

the crew of Hyperion in November of 2015. He brings

to the boat an advanced knowledge of sailing after 4

years as 1st Mate on the 1921 Tall Ship ‘Florette’.

Florette was a classic wooden sailing vessel she

presented a wonderful opportunity to combine his

craft as a carpenter with his new found passion for

sailing. And so after completing a 4 year apprenticeship

as a full time crew member.
