Stella Polare

Stella Polare A 5313, Italian Navy, Terrazza Mascagni, Livorno
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).

    She looks wonderful with her full billowing sails VP, the top image is fabulous in that it has three distinctly different types of ships, nice one!

    Such a small boat went so far and so fast? Wow.
    That first photo seems unreal; so many layers. It has a dreamy quality.
