Yachting

Yachts have a rich history, evolving from humble fishing and merchant vessels to symbols of luxury and engineering marvels. The word "yacht" originally comes from the Dutch word "yacht," which means "hunt," and was initially used for vessels used to chase pirates. Today, yachts are associated with leisure, elegance, and cutting-edge technology.

The principle of building any team says: "The interests of the team are always higher than the interests of any individual person." Following this principle, the team exists, grows and wins. If one of the team members puts their interests above the team's interests, then the team is no longer there, you can disperse in different directions.

Often, novice yachtsmen glance enviously towards experienced athletes taking part in regattas, and do not even consider the possibility of their own participation in such events. There is nothing for a beginner to do there, because there is so much to know and be able to do! Yes, to participate in regattas at a professional level, you need not only serious skills and excellent preparation, but also a lot of money. But amateur regattas are available to everyone.

The wind "feeds" sailboats during movement, therefore any yachtsman is interested in the direction of the wind, its speed. Many people think about the question even before leaving the marina: "Will the wind change?"

Dreamily pronouncing the words "yacht" and "sea" you imagine an endless space; captures the feeling of freedom and anticipation of the discovery of a new world, unforgettable impressions. Many have only to dream about it!

Sailing regattas always attract a lot of spectators. The sails are inflated with a favorable wind, and the ship runs across the sea towards adventure. The huge sail, named with the romantic English word "spinnaker", adorns cruising and racing yachts.
