in #sailboats5 years ago

info is from fredrikstad municipality, norway

On July 11th-14th, Fredrikstad will once again host the world’s largest regatta for sail ships. About 2500 young sailors between the ages of 15-25 will join more than 75 sail ships from 25 different countries.

The regatta and the event Tall Ships Races in owned by Sail Training International, whose main goal is to increase international comradery and understanding between youths. 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. The municipality has cooperated with Rotary in sending young sailors to The Tall Ships Races across the globe since 2005.

In 2018 and in 2019, Fredrikstad will recruit 160 sail trainees. They will also receive training courses in management and teamwork, training in conflict management and dialogue, in addition to other current societal topics that are added to seminar series.

Thank you for beautiful post. This is the amazing picture in the night.
I just comment with these words.

the night was so beautiful with a range of lights
lights flickered until late at night
Light up the ship and all its sides
until no one can hide

make people want to go back home
sitting back on the side of the dormitory
to commemorate the beautiful past
all seemed so charming to those who passed

see the blue sky with stars
we will be able to reach far
to pick up the future
united in beautiful nature

Thank you @xpilar
Warm regard from Indonesia

thanks for your beautiful poem @rokhani

Apparently beauty at night has its own aesthetic. As a connoisseur, I like this. Thank you for your wonderful photography trip, sir. Regards!

Hello @xpilar, too spectacular those photographs, I can't imagine what it would be like to be in that place and enjoy so many wonders.
