Anna Barth / Emma Kohlhoff

A Hamburg sailor and former 49erFX Junior World Champion, Anna Barth combines her Olympic skiff campaign with a professional role as strategist for the German SailGP team, which she joined in 2023 after finishing school at the Gymnasium Hochrad.

She helms the FX with young crew Emma Kohlhoff, the pair competing at their second World Championship together.

Barth is building toward a Los Angeles 2028 Olympic campaign while racing at the cutting edge of the professional circuit.

Emma Kohlhoff is a teenage talent crewing for German helm Anna Barth, balancing her Olympic 49erFX campaign with two remaining years of high school.

Sailing as Barth's foresailor, the 17-year-old has already lined up at World Championship level, gaining valuable experience at the front of the fleet.
