A little bit about the calendar…

 

It is really big, elegant and pleasant to touch. The huge size of 60 cm x 40 cm ensures the vessels are properly exhibited. 13 sheets printed on 200 g chalk paper. The calendar has a white spiral with a pendant and cardboard backs. It is packed in a white cardboard envelope. That’s it when it comes to technical parameters. And what units can you see in each month? Let’s start with the cover.

On the „first page” there is a photo of Dar Młodzieży with the city of Gdynia in the background. You can perfectly see the panorama of the city, over which the Sea Towers skyscrapers tower. However, this is not the most important thing in the photo. The eye is attracted by the majestic silhouette of a white frigate under sails.

 

 

 

JANUARY

– For a good start of the year, I chose a photo of the French barkentine Le Marité taking a course to the wide waters after leaving Gdynia. It was Friday September 28, 2018. The sunny, almost windless aura of the morning prompted the French crew to present something special to the few observers on the South Pier. Still at the quay, the sails went to the masts, and the ship unhurriedly headed first to the middle of the basin, then turned and a moment later passed the heads of the port – says Krzysztof Romański.

 

 

FEBRUARY

During the parade of sailing ships at the end of The Tall Ships Races 2018 in Stavanger, Norway, the ranks of the captains were crushed by a strong wind. It seemed that in a narrow body of water, with high density, no one would decide to show under full sail. And yet. The captain of the Dutch barge europa, Klaas Gaastra, did not compromise. He knows his job and ship perfectly, he trusts his crew, so almost all the sails went to the masts, and the old vessel glided along the fjord with the grace of a ballerina.

 

 

MARCH

Venezuelan barque Simon Bolivar captured against the backdrop of the sun rising from behind the horizon. The ship was then at anchor on the approach to Buenos Aires, where the Velas Latinoamerica 2018 rally was to take place.

 

 

 

APRIL

It is not often possible to „hunt” Zawisza Czarny under full sails – including the brifock. In July 2021, somewhere near Hel, with full sun and light wind, Captain Waldemar Mieczkowski and his crew decided to build the entire set. A sight that lick your fingers!

 

 

 

MAY

This structure behind Cuauhtemoca is the Montevideo lighthouse. The Mexican barque, as always during the parade, carries a huge flag under its gaff. The photo was taken where the brown waters of the world’s widest river – Rio de la Plata – mingle with the salty Atlantic Ocean. Hence the characteristic color.

 

 

JUNE

This was one of the Pogoria’s last voyages in the Tyrrhenian Sea. In January 2020, there was still nothing to predict the storm that was approaching the world. Gdynia’s bark enjoyed the sun, the wind and the Stromboli volcano purring every now and then.

 

 

 

JULY

From this perspective, the Norwegian barge Statstraad Lehmkuhl is almost identical to the Polish Dar Pomorza. The photo was taken during a parade in the mother port of Bergen, the mother of the largest sailing ship in Norway.

 

AUGUST

It’s called being in the right place at the right time. The photo was taken from the top of a rocky fjord under which the Dutch meandering schooner Wylde Swan happened to be passing.

 

 

 

SEPTEMBER

A beautiful weather accompanied the opening of The Tall Ships Races 2009. Norwegian Christian Radich presented himself perfectly in the afternoon sun.

 

 

 

OCTOBER

Fryderyk Chopin at the start of the Baltic Regatta 2021 in Klaipeda. Moments later, the brig under the command of Captain Bartłomiej Skwara was a tiny disappearing point on the horizon.

 

 

NOVEMBER

A typical, turbulent face of the North Sea. The American school bar, Eagle, glides gracefully on the waves. A sailing ship comes to Europe every few years.

 

 

 

 

DECEMBER

In December 2022, calendar owners will be able to feel the festive atmosphere by looking at the night illumination of the Esmeralda Chilean Barkentina, captured during a stopover in Buenos Aires.
