La Grace Sails

Part one

The book describes the circumstances of the building and the adventures of the first voyages of the historic sailing ship La Grace, built in Egypt between 2008 and 2010 by a group of Czech enthusiasts led by Captain Josef Dvorský and Dan Rosecký. The ship was ceremonially christened on 1.5.2011 in Athens, Greece; her godmother is Lucie Váchová, Miss Czech Republic.

The book is intended not only for all sailors and fans of ships and the sea, but also for the general public. The La Grace project is so extensive and interesting that ordinary readers will certainly reach for the book too. The sailing ship La Grace is fairly well known. Czech Television made an hour-long programme about her as part of the Objektiv series, and most Czech media, electronic and printed, reported on the christening. The book's godfather will be the actor and presenter Tomáš Hanák, and the book also appeared on ČT1 in his programme about travelling.
