History

Zawsisza Czarny used to be a fishing vessel. After that use it was rebuilt to become a sailing vessel. Three masts were fitted on it and the motor that was built in was an old motor from a U-boat.{{cn|date=June 2020}}

One of the most interesting sailing voyages is certainly its trip to Cape Horn.{{cn|date=June 2020}}

Remarkable are also the sailing trips during which half of the crew consisted of blind people.{{cn|date=June 2020}}

It is now owned by the Polish Scouting and Guiding Association, ZHP and its home harbor is Gdynia.{{cite web |title=Zawisza Czarny II |url=http://www.tallship-fan.de/cgi-bin/tallship_d.pl?ACTION=DISPLAY&SCHIFFSID=595 |website=tallship-fan.de}}

Rig

The rig is one of a very rare kind. The three masts are rigged as a wishbone ketch. Only a few sailing vessels are using it today and it is mainly seen on smaller units.
