The Polonez Race is one of the oldest single-handed sailing races in Poland, with a tradition spanning over 50 years. Sailed on the demanding waters of the Baltic Sea, it has long attracted experienced sailors ready to face the sea alone.

This unique event tests not only speed and tactics, but also self-reliance, mental resilience, and true seamanship. Each competitor sails solo, making every decision independently — one sailor, one yacht, and the elements.

The Polonez Race is more than a sporting competition. It is a living legend of Polish single-handed sailing and a community united by a passion for the sea, respect for tradition, and the desire to push personal limits.

Since 2021, the race has been organized by the Single-Handed Sailors Club (Klub Żeglarzy Samotników), continuing the event’s core values of independence, safety, and high sporting standards.

Each edition brings new challenges, changing conditions, and unforgettable experiences. Taking part in the Polonez Race is not just about racing — it is about becoming part of the history of single-handed sailing.
