Robert was brought up with sailing. Already at the age of 5 he got a jib sheet pushed into his hands. Later in life, Robert mainly sailed fast small catamarans in the A-class. Robert grew up in Hoek van Holland (The Netherlands), went to the Dutch Reformed Church there and came to a living faith in Jesus Christ at a Capernwray Bible School in Australia. Robert has been involved with Hellenic Ministries, a Greek Missionary Organization for 30 years already. And as skipper of the Dolphin 3, a new phase has now begun. Incidentally, he is following in the footsteps of his father Fokko Feddes, who, together with his wife Tineke, for many years did missionary work in Greek waters with their sailboat 'Dolfijn 2'.
