Rudolf Krautschneider
Rudolf Krautschneider (born 22 August 1943) is a Czech sailor, writer and illustrator.
Biography[edit]
Krautschneider was born in Vienna in 1943 into the family of an Austrian father and a Moravian mother, and was raised in Znojmo.[1]
In 1977, he sailed beyond the Arctic Circle with his first ship named Vela. He later sailed to Svalbard and the Falkland Islands with his ship Polka, and circled Antarctica on Polárka.[2] He later built a replica of Magellan's ship Victoria.[3]
He wrote most of his books in Czech and some in Polish (one of them, Świat polskich żaglonautów, is about Polish sailors including Krystyna Chojnowska-Liskiewicz, Henryk Jaskuła, Karol Olgierd Borchardt and Leonid Teliga). One of his books, Plachetnicí kolem světa pro pírko tučňáka, was translated into English as Around the World for the Feather of a Penguin (1999).
He also made documentary films during his travels.[4]
