Classic yachts

are boats designed by Polish designers and built in the Polish shipyard no later than 30 years ago

"Of all the living creatures upon land and sea, it is ships alone that cannot be taken in by barren pretences, that will not put up with bad art from their masters."

Joseph Conrad - The mirror of the sea

Our projects

We protect historic Polish yachts. At the moment the following units are under our sole care:

s/y Śmiały

There is no need to introduce this yacht to anybody. The greatest Polish seamen passed through its deck. Śmiały's pioneering expeditions set the directions for further ambitious cruises of Polish vessels. One of the three remaining Y-140 yachts, ‘Śmiały’, was launched in 1960 at the Gdańsk Shipyard. It served in the Sailing Training Centre in Trzebież for a long time, so now, before it returns to the oceans, it needs to undergo renovation.
