Biography
Biography
Krautschneider was born in Vienna in 1943 into the family of an Austrian father and a Moravian mother, and was raised in Znojmo. 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. He later built a replica of Magellan's ship Victoria. 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.
