The Volvo 70 I Love Poland (POL) finished the RORC Transatlantic Race on the 18th of January in an elapsed time of 10 days 11 hrs 12 mins and 50 secs.

Skippered by Grzegorz Baranowski, the team is composed of young talented Polish sailors. OBR Robert Hadjuk's great imagery shows what it's really like to race across the Atlantic in a Volvo 70.

The 14-person crew of I Love Poland included the winners of The Polish National Foundation's training programs, as well as the helmsman and the captain - Grzegorz Baranowski. I Love Poland is a project aimed primarily at training the next generations of ocean sailors.
