The project involves youth from all corners of the world, who take part in a community across nationality, culture and religion, and who will challenge themselves and others by using the sea and sailing as a teaching arena. This work led Sail Training International to be nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize in 2007.

thanks @mrme1984
I am so impressed with the people in your city. They carefully pay attention to the well-developed modes of water transportation and can produce maximum service.
My shadow is that while still using a sailboat exploring the Atlantic ocean can even penetrate the Bahamas islands as done by Columbus, or furthermore is the Viking people who also roamed the vast ocean to get to North America.
One courage as a nation that develops sea transportation so that it can touch all regions.
Then the development of technology is progressing until the ship becomes more effective in transporting cargo and driving at maximum speed.
And now I'm reading from your post about ship racing. One chance is certainly not all time can be witnessed. An event which break the region and religion, break the difference of nation and tribes. All participant will have a great experience
Thank you @xpilar for giving interesting discourses and posts.
Warm regard from Indonesia
thanks @rokhani
I imagine it is a sensational event, the sailboats and the boats that show are very large, striking and majestic. I wait for part II to continue delighting.
thank you @anasuleidy
Nice to see these classic boats still on the sea and in such beautiful scenery too, @xpilar!

@xpilar, It will not be wrong if we will call this race as Giant Race. And definitely watching this event live would be breathtaking experience. Hope that you are enjoying it.

We also will have Tall Ships here in Bay City, Michigan.
Nice to hear, it's just to enjoy it @marcusantoniu26

thank you @muntaharaceh
wow really amazing travel and ships I love it. I appreciate it sailboats. thanks for visiting my post.
Nice to hear, thanks @kretorkk
Nice :)
thanks @sniper555
You are welcome
Wow! Wow! Wow!
Absolutely fantastic! This is very stressful especially if I can enjoy it directly.
I don't think that all countries can hold ship contests like your country, sir.
In accordance with the pictures you take with Canon or Samsung cameras, it seems that people are very enthusiastic about visiting the dock to watch it.
I don't know, how long they will arrive at the finish line with a fast boat like that.
I can imagine the contestants having to break through high waves, cross storms, and that was really thrilling.
Because of the distance from the track, it will be difficult for the audience to see the entire race.
Well, because of the extreme, there may be a special screen that shows directly so that people can enjoy it freely. When the participants were far from the port, the audience's attention was focused on the big screen broadcasting the race, I think.
And thank you for your wonderful information and photography, sir.
Enjoy, sir!
🙏
Thank's for your feedback @seha76
If there are any TV stations or movie companies that follow the whole race, I don't know.
But agree with you that it was fun to see
very beautiful natural scenery with ships that lean back on the dock

That's a very big race. involving 25 countries and 2500 sailors. it will be a very interesting race to see. I was very impressed with the main purpose of the race. increasing international friendship. that's a very good destination.
I was amazed by Fredrikstad. I see that they are very high in water transportation. I admit this is very rare in other countries. even in Indonesia where I live do not pay too much attention to water transportation. even competitions like this are very rarely held. even if it was held only an ordinary race. namely a small, small boat.
I really want to see the Fredrikstad race. definitely very interesting. and the photos you display look really good. you shoot at every angle to get the best results. I really like the photos you show.

thank you so much @aulia1993
Interesting place, these boats look luxurious, it is good that they motivate young people to activities beneficial for their development.
Nice to hear @adeljose
Excellent event, I like to navigate and therefore work as a machine operator of a tugboat, only that I work to tow barges. The sailboats are elegant and very suitable for calm sailing and resting.
