We are two-time winners of the Nations Cup in the Dragon class, were 3rd in the European Championship, won the Russian Championship in the overall standings and in the Classic (yachts built before 1972). Our team at the upcoming regatta in Turkey will feature Valentin Zubkov, an international master of sports, a long–distance sailing captain, with whom we took part in the Middle Sea Race regatta on the “Coral” yacht.

And the goals and objectives are pleasant impressions and a good mood!"
