The yachtsmen of St. Petersburg came up with a great event. Races on Wednesdays are for everyone. Yes, just like that, if you want to chase, come and chase. No entry fees, no routine applications, registrations, measurements, and other routine.
Every Wednesday evening, after work, the yachts go out into the waters of the Nevsky Bay to start the training races. Everything is as it should be: signs, judging vessel, pre-launch procedures, flags, signals, protests. And, of course, competitive excitement. The start of the first race is usually at 19:30 in the area of the sea passenger port gate signs.
The entire fleet is divided into two groups: L6 class yachts and free class yachts.
I also participated in the yacht races this year. Despite the fact that I got involved with yachts of greater length and sail, sometimes I managed to come last :-)
And sometimes I just photographed this beauty.
