Mikhail Senatorov (helmsman of Doble V Sailing Team): "Sailing is a family story for us. I started sailing thanks to my father Vasily Senatorov (Yacht Russia), now my brother is actively involved in sailing. Since the early 2000s, I have been racing in the Dragon class as a boatman and helmsman. In 2008, he won the European Championship in Oslo together with Maxim Lagutenko and Vladimir Krutskikh, and was repeatedly the winner of the Russian Championship in the Dragon class. The experience on a J/70 class boats is not so rich, but there was a victory at the first stage of the National Sailing League in Konakovo. In Turkey, I participated in Marmaris Race Week and Gocek Race Week. To be honest, it was more an active vacation than a competitive experience. But the atmosphere and the weather were really wonderful! We will have our debut in the Tenzor International Cup Winter Series 2024/2025, so we really hope for good weather, interesting races and great experiences! The task is to enjoy the regatta and be ready to continue for the next stages of the series!
