The “Stella Polare” (Pole Star) is 21-meter Bermudan yawl of the Italian Navy: here she is sailing just in front of the Terrazza Mascagni.
During her first participation in the 1966 Giraglia keelboat regatta, “Stella Polare” won the historic race and set a new record (243 miles in 29 hours) that stood for almost 20 years. In 1968 she also won a memorable 3850-miles Atlantic race from Hamilton (Bermuda) to Travemünde (Germany).
