Captains of great sailing ships raced in Rewa
On a daily basis, they command great sailing ships – “Dar Młodych”, “Fryderyk Chopin” or “Pogoria”. On September 19, during the Captains’ Regatta for the Cup of the Rector of the Maritime University, they moved to small boats. Who won?
Zygmunt Choreń – about the book “Girls and Boys Television. A story like a fairy tale from another world”.
Zygmunt Choreń, the constructor of the largest Polish sailing ships, talks about his impressions after reading the book “Television of Girls and Boys (1957-1993). A story like a fairy tale from another world”. The first sailing ships built according to his designs were: the barquentine “Pogoria” in 1980 and the frigate “Dar Młodzieży” in 1982. Later the barquentine ORP “Iskra” for the Polish Navy (1982); barkentine “Kaliakra” for Bulgaria (1984) and research vessel “Oceania” built for the Institute of Oceanology of the Polish Academy of Sciences (1985).
His name is known in every shipyard in the world. “Father of sailing ships” with a new project
Brzozowy Kąt, a village in Podlasie. While rummaging in the attic, little Zygmunt finds copies of the monthly “Sea” in the trunks. Following the instructions, he folds the paper ships. A little later, he refines the projects by constructing ships from a pig trough and then building a wooden kayak with a friend. Today, there is no man in the world who has designed more sailing ships than him, but Zygmunt Choreń has no intention of retiring. A worthy successor to the legendary Pogoria has just been created on the drawing board of his office.
40 years of “Pogoria”. A sailing ship to the volcanoes, because the sea is for everyone
On January 23, exactly 40 years have passed since the launch of “Pogoria”, the first sailing ship built from scratch in Poland. The ship was built in 1980 in the Gdańsk Shipyard, then named after Lenin. The designer of the unit was a young engineer, Zygmunt Choreń. The success of “Pogoria” paved the way for further productions: “Dar Młodych”, “Iskra”, “Fryderyk Chopin” and many other units.

He calls himself a lucky child. He loves the sea and ships. He widens his eyes at the word “retirement” and is almost to the core offended by the suspicion that at the age of 74 he could retire. Currently, his office is designing one of the largest sailing ships in the world, and his youngest child, created for the Vietnamese army, is ready for a cruise on the coast in Gdynia. Has a full order book. He built “Fryderyk Chopin” and “Dar Młodych” and nearly 20 other yachts.
