Don't miss a beat of the action! The first race of Leg 6, the Mighty Pacific challenge is underway, from #Zhuhai to #Qingdao in China. Chase the race over this 9-day sprint which will cover around 1,340 nautical miles and will be one of the more challenging races on the circumnavigation. The teams will have to navigate oil and gas platforms, busy shipping channels as well as strong ocean currents, especially as it sails up the east coast of Taiwan. The currents combined with the headwinds forecast will bring some steep and harsh sea states, making it an upwind, obstacle-filled race to the end. https://lnkd.in/esEvM6PT Race 9: Sailing City – Qingdao Cup. #ClipperRace #chasetherace

👉 Great sailing ships return to the Baltic Sea  ===================> One month from now, on 27 June 2024, the next edition of the regatta involving the largest sailing ships in the world - The Tall Ships Races - will begin. After 7 years, the "Birds of the Ocean" are returning to the Baltic to sail across almost our entire sea. ⚓ The route leads from #Klaipeda to #Helsinki, from there to #Tallinn, then #Turku, #Mariehamn in the #Åland Islands and the longest leg with the grand finale in #Szczecin, which will take place on 2-5 August 2024. ⚓ Although the full list of entered vessels has not yet been announced, it is difficult to expect that the two great Russian sailing ships - "Kruzenshtern" and "Sedov" - which have always been the highlight of this regatta, to take part in this year's event. ⚓ This will be the 5-th time that The Tall Ships Races finale has taken place in Szczecin. Previously, we hosted the event's finale in 2007, 2013, 2015 and 2017. The next final was due to fall in 2021, but was moved to this year due to Covid. ⚓ It is noteworthy that all finals in Szczecin had the highest attendance of all ports at the same time - the last final, in 2017, was attended by around 2 million visitors! The harbour in Szczecin is almost made for such events - the picturesque Wały Chrobrego and Łasztownia Island create a unique, nautical atmosphere.  #TallShipsRaces #BalticSea #Poland #Scandinavia https://lnkd.in/e9fu6qG6 👇 The Tall Ships Races 2013 - final in Szczecin

🐲 Our dbDragons made waves at the Stanley Dragon Boat International Championship in Hong Kong last week! 🛶🌊 Our dragon boat team gave their all against a competitive field of teams in Hong Kong’s 270-meter Dragon Boat race, finishing with the Gold Bowl Merit trophy. Cheered on by thousands along the shore of Stanley Beach, the motley crew came together from across divisions, and showcased what teamwork and dedication can achieve. Come rain or shine, no matter how choppy the waters were, they trained together on the southern tip of Hong Kong Island every weekend in the months leading up to the competition. Working in sync towards a shared goal are qualities mirrored by our colleagues both on the water and at work. Here’s what some of the crew had to say about their experience: 🗨️ “To be successful you really must be synchronised and in pace. Through dragon boating I’ve learned how to be more agile in how you communicate with people from across the bank,” says Sylvia Oh from DWS. 🗨️ “You can’t just paddle faster than the rest of the team and become first. You have to work with the rest of the team to achieve the common goal,” says Mathew George from our Compliance team. 🗨️ “The weather might not be great, conditions might not be perfect, but you have to be persistent, work hard, and be deeply dedicated,” says Megan Kwong from the Investment Bank team. Explore how we are nurturing an environment that allows everyone to unleash their full potential, at work and in their personal lives: https://lnkd.in/eX-kXQCx #DragonBoat #StanleyDragonBoat #DeutscheBank
