Christian was photographed with his father at Skovshoved summer 2014 sailing Optimist, so he probably knows some of the them.

Summary of article in Billed Bladet #21, 2016.
Written by our maritime reporter, Marianne Singer.
Christian was officially signed on as mate aboard the boat Nanoq (polar bear) with dad as skipper and two very experienced sailors, Anders Myralf and Jesper Riise as mates.
And this was something Christian took very seriously!
For the three days the race went on, Christian started working when they arrived in the morning, like cleaning the deck. When he wasn't working he followed dad around like a shadow taking in what was said and done.
But what was Christians job on the boat? Anders Myralf explains: "He has some very specific tasks to carry out. There are many strings/ropes (whatever you call them on such a boat) that needs to be pulled and he has four ropes that are his job in various situations.
He's done super-well. He's so full of sprite and he doesn't whimper. He just need something to eat, obviously. We make sure to replenish the stores between sailing (i.e. eat)".
Q: Do you see a future skipper in Christian?
AM: "Easily! It might be that he's competing with his dad one day".
Frederik said: "He's done splendidly".
Saturday, Mary showed up in a boat along with the rest of the children. Naturally Mary had a camera with her. After a couple of hours they sailed home.

Thank you as always, Muhler, for this interesting tidbit from the lives of the Crown Prince and his family. I read that there is a new boat to replace the old Farr 47 Nanoq that, I believe, has been sold to an Australian. The new Nanoq, I believe, is a Dragon class boat, perhaps more suitable for younger sailors like Prince Christian. The 'strings' on a boat, by the way, in English are called 'lines'!

 it is. 
Guess not. But then he would have completed a HALO jump-course to even become a fully fledged Frogman, and that's more advanced than free-fall jump wings. So this I think trumps the red wings.
HALO - High Altitude Low Opening = Jumping from say eight kilometers, preferably remaining undetected, then opening the parachute at as low an altitude as possible, before steering the parachute down to where they want to land. Usually at night.
