The Tall Ships’ Races’i Stockholm-Stettini võistlusetapi uudistes ja raportist leiab, et Eesti meeskond on väga kõva sõidu teinud. Ligi saja võistleja arvestuses nõnda eespool lõpetada on meistritükk.
Seda enam, et võistlus kujunes heitlikke ilmade tõttu peaaegu loteriiks, sest esikohtade pärast ei olnud kuni lõpuni kellelgi aimu, esikolmik vahetus üsna tihti. C-klassis kujunes esinelik juba varakult, need rebisid omavahel, eestlased poolakatest kinni hoides.
Jahtide osas võiks St. Iv-i isegi võitjaks pidada, sest arvestades seda, kui väike on nende jaht teistega võrreldes, siis peaks neile võitja au andma. Lõpetasid meie aja järgi täna öösel kell 01.15.
Dramaatilises võistluses oli palju katkestajaid ja mitmeid ebaõnnestunud taktikaid. Lõpuks toodi finišiaeg varasemast ettepoole, 16 osalejat jõudis finišijoone ületada enne seda, St. Iv nende hulgas. Paljud ei ole veel praegusekski sadamasse jõudnud. Järgnevalt need, kes enne kehtestatud ajalimiiti finišisse jõudsid:

Ülevaade www.tallshipsraces.com-ist tänase hommikuse seisuga:
Race Two of The Tall Ships’ Races 2007 Baltic ended last night at 0000 GMT (for Class A ships), 0030hrs (for Class B), 0045 hrs (for Class C) and 0100 hrs (for Class D). The fleet are continuing to report their positions to Race Control as many still have some way to go before they approach Szczecin.
All vessels that were still racing, even if they had not crossed the finish line, at the race time limit have had their positions calculated to create a provisional result. Once all the race declaration forms have been submitted to the Race Committee in Szczecin, final results will be announced – these are likely to change from these provisional results.
Provisional results indicate that Christian Radich (Norway) held on to her lead on corrected time in Class A and overall. In second place in Class A is Kruzenshtern (Russia) with Sørlandet (Norway) in third. The race for first place in Class B on corrected time has provisionally been won by Gratitude (Sweden) with Wyvern von Bremen (Germany) in second and Gratia (Sweden) in third.Dar Szczecina (Poland) has held on to her lead in Class C in her personal race against Dar Natury (Poland) who is provisionally in second place on corrected time. Behind them is St. Iv (Sweden). Rona II (UK) is provisional winner of Class D on corrected time with Hansa (Spain) in second and Sirma (UK) in third.
A number of vessels crossed the finish line before the race time limit last night, these include: Christian Radich, Dar Szczecina, Dar Natury, St Iv, Akela, Thermopylae Clipper, Esprit, Tornado, Rona II, Hansa, Sirma, Better Than, Felicity, Tomidi, Steppe and Fazisi.
The fleet are now making their way to Szczecin where they are due to be in port by 1200 hrs local time tomorrow, Saturday 4 August for four final days of festivities and the final prize-giving.

Korrigeeritud arvestuse järgi oli suurim purjelaev Sedov kuuekümnes, oma klassis 11. koht. Kruzenshtern kokkuvõttes St. Iv-i järel viies, oma klassis 2. koht. A klassi võitis norrakate Christian Radich, Sørlandet kolmas.
Füüsiliselt jõudis taas esimesena lõppu hispaanlaste 18-meetrine jaht Hansa, finišeerus meie aja järgi eile keskpäeval. Korrigeeritud aja järgi D-klassis teine koht ja kokkuvõttes kolmeteistkümnes.
St. Iv-i meeskonnale mõnusat pidu seal Stettinis ja rõõmsat koduteed. 15. augusti paiku peaks nad Tallinna jõudma.
