The race is over and the sail ships are on the horizon

We have only two days ahead of the greatest sailing event of the year. The finale of The Tall Ships Races is on the horizon, and the sail ships are arriving at Szczecin.

Residents of Świnoujście have an opportunity to admire tall ships that completed the third and the last stage of the race and are about to set sail for Szczecin soon. During the last race stage, Polish vessels demonstrated their strength and determination and secured a win in all classes. Fryderyk Chopin was the first at the finish line in Class A, while the winner of Class B race was Generał Zarusku, and Class C was dominated by Belfer. As for Class D, Dar Szczecina was the first to reach the finish line.
