Race leg two results announced

The results for race leg two of The Tall Ships Races 2014 – from Bergen, Norway to Esbjerg, Denmark – have now been confirmed by the Sail Training International Race Committee. 

The race featured close and exciting racing in all classes, with some of the positions being decided by just a few minutes on corrected time. 

Paul Bishop, Race Director, Sail Training International said, äóìThe captains, navigators and crews have had a challenging race, and the level of professionalism within the fleet has been excellent, so the Race Committee would like to pass on their congratulations to all vessels. The racing in Class A has been particularly close and Christian Radich‘ strong performance as the first large Class A ship to cross the finish line should be noted as an exceptional performance, as was that of Statsraad Lehmkuhl and the other ships in the top group of Class A vessels.”
