The Great Sailboat Regatta (Lithuania)


On June 14, 2024, Lithuanian Post issued the “Lithuanian Great Sailboat Regatta” postage stamp designed by Natalija Vaišnorienė (about whom I wish I knew more). Its design and artwork are a true delight. The vertically exaggerated sailboats integrate so well with a fantasy of color strips behind them that I hear music in the color harmony.

 

This year Klaipėda, Lithuania was the starting port of “The Tall Ships Races.” Klaipėda is a port city in Lithuania, where the Baltic Sea meets the Danė River, and is a city full of maritime culture—a most appropriate place to begin the race.
