That was some of the many pics I took during the "race" in year 2001 - - -
I raced around too - on the calm ocean - in my fast motorboat - and took photo after photo of the endless row of beautiful classic, traditional sailing ships, - and the weather was beautiful and with calm seas - great for taking photos - - -
Therefore I consider this series of photos to be among the most beautiful I have of the ships of the well preserved Danish sail driven fleet - - -
