14/07/14

Capricia, Corsaro II, Orsa Maggiore and Stella Polare actresses protagonists of the weekend of the Great Sails of Gaeta. In the water two centuries of naval art, tradition and maritime history, between agonism and passion.

The background is another lady from the sea of ​​the navy, ship Palinuro, celebrated on the occasion for its 80 years with the "Follaro d'Oro", the recognition that the municipality of Gaeta reserves for sports and moral excellences.

Two days out of three (the third was canceled due to bad weather) of regattas in which the armed force school ships showed the skills of their crews who acted as tutors to the students of the Gaeta nautical technical institute on board.

Sea format (on average 1,5 wave meters) and sustained wind (constant on the 18 nodes) contributed to the show.

On the podium in front of all in the order Stella Polare, Capricia and Corsaro in the grouping of the Vintage Sails, Orsa Maggiore was instead the best in the "over all".

Once on the ground, I keep on coming and going for enthusiasts and onlookers on the historical ships to witness the proximity to the navy units and its sailors.
