Since 2014 GUT Sailing team has been winning the Academic Sailing Championship of Poland. Regatta in Wilkasy confirmed the excellent preparation and sailing talent of the four GUT crews. In the team championship GUT team took the first place for the 8th time in a row.

In the individual championship, the title was won by Marcin Styborski's crew (they came in third last year). Second place was taken by Aleksander Michalski and crew (last year's champions). Only a single point separated Kacper Wysocki and his team from the lowest step of the podium. Aleksandra Jędryczka and her crew were unbeatable in six of seven final races in the silver group.
