Regatta under the Polish flag
04.05.2024
On May 4, we had another opportunity to spot the Polish flag and be reminded about the Polish presence in New Zealand. During the regatta in Oriental Bay, Wellingtonians could admire a yacht under the Polish flag.
The Embassy had an honour to sponsor a cup for the best female helmsman of the season at the Royal Port Nicholson Yacht Club. The trophy recognized a Polish outstanding woman, Krystyna Chojnowska-Liskiewicz, the first woman to circumnavigate the globe alone.
