Each crew has traveled a total of 7.5 nautical miles.
This amazing beauty gathered many fans on the coast. Family members came to support the participants of the competition. Workshops on the technique of knitting sea knots and designing ship models were organized for children on the shore.

For reference:
The Rosmorrechflot corporate regatta has been held annually since 2016 in order to popularise and develop sailing in the Moscow region, maintain the corporate spirit of the employees of the industry community, as well as to pass on experience from honored athletes to beginners.
Success in yacht racing largely depends on the teamwork of the team members and the experience of managing the vessel. Weather conditions also make a contribution. Any wind, even rough winds, is acceptable for such yachts, while calm can be a serious hindrance.
