The I Love Poland boat, owned by the Polish National Foundation (PFN), is one of some 30 vessels taking part in the race.

“I’m convinced that the passion, skills and experience of the Polish crew … will make for a great story for Poland," said PFN chief Marcin Zarzecki.

He added that the I Love Poland "is more than just a competing vessel; it’s a sailing embassy" of the country.

Michał Owczarek has the story.
