The Mir sailing training vessel and the “Expeditions Under Sail” company are implementing a project during which anyone will be able to become part of the frigate's crew and undergo real ship practice in the Baltic Sea.

This season, until the end of October, 11 weekly voyages from St. Petersburg to Kaliningrad and back are planned on the frigate as part of the project. In the expedition on the sailing boat, each participant will have the opportunity to practice under the guidance of an experienced boatswain, take part in sailing adventures and climb the mast, learn how to work with sails, keep watch at the helm, and learn the basics of navigation and astronomical navigation.

In order to make the team, you need to leave an application on the project website and pass the selection. Interns go on voyages in small groups consisting of a maximum of 11 people. At the same time, cadets of the leading maritime universities of Russia undergo sailing practice on the sailing boat.

Since the beginning of the program this year, the Mir sailing boat has carried out three voyages, one of which is an introductory one for group leaders, and the next two are training ones with groups of interns on board.
