Project Description

Most of the countries of Eurasia have access to the sea or large lakes on their territory. Russia is a maritime power, the popularity and accessibility of sailing in our country can become one of the indicators of the happiness index, and the release of the people's initiative to develop the world's people's sailing, a precedent for successful people's diplomacy of citizens of the Russian Federation.

Sports, especially outdoors, in full interaction with nature, gives a feeling of happiness to all participants in the international sailing regatta. Even in virtual races, the atmosphere of unity with nature and like-minded people is preserved. We want more and more amateur yachtsmen.
