After the declaration of independence of Lithuania in 1990, sailors did not take long to feel the refreshing gusts of freedom. They also actively contributed to the preservation of freedom. The yacht “Dailė” (meaning ‘fine art’) (captain Romanas Borisovas) made two short voyages of national significance between the port of Eckernförde (Germany) and Klaipėda. During them, a radio station designed to ensure the communication of the Supreme Council of the Republic of Lithuania with the world as well as the first postage stamps of restored Lithuania were delivered.

Between 1992 and 1995, the yachts “Lietuva” (meaning ‘Lithuania’) (captain Steponas Kudzevičius) and “Laisvė” (meaning ‘freedom’) (captain Ignas Miniotas) sailed around the world under the Lithuanian tricolour flag for the first time. In January 1995, sailors Jonas Limantas, Ričardas Ramanauskas and Linas Ivanauskas were the first Lithuanians to reach the Cape Horn (South America) on a yacht “Aura” and disembark there. This place is called the “Mount Everest of sailing”. Lithuanian sailors of the interwar period could only dream about it.
