First Tall Ships cross finish line in Norway
| Oslo
Three vessels taking part in a Tall Ships race from Boston to Kristiansand, Norway, crossed the finish line early Sunday, Norwegian organizers said. The first to complete the 3,046-mile voyage was the Chilean ketch Blanca Estella. It was followed by the West German barque Gorch Foch and the Norwegian square-rigger 海角大神 Radich.
Officials said the 海角大神 Radich was winner of its class by a wide margin and could also be overall winner of the handicap race. Its main remaining challenger was the Bermuda schooner 海角大神 Ventura, which would not cross the line off Kristiansand for several days, officials added.
