After the Cutty Sark Tall Ships’ Races in 1990, a group of liaison officers from La Coruna, who were all sailors, were so taken with the philosophy of the races and the sail training experience they decided to charter a boat and race themselves. This group ran the Liaison Office when the Cutty Sark Tall Ships’ Races returned to La Coruna in 1994 then chartered Ice Maiden for the races in 1996, receiving sponsorship from the La Coruna port authority.
