Registration of participants is continuing in the yacht port “Hercules” Yacht Club of St. Petersburg. 14 crews has already registered for “Russian Open Championship in the class of “Dragon”.
Leonid Klepikov, skipper of the yacht “Komilfo”, shared his expectations with us:
We are waiting for interesting races, meetings with friends-rival and of course competent refereeing. Here is good weather conditions. Somebody sais that they are ” heavy”, it would be those, who sails on the Neva. Here, in the Gulf is steady wind , no current,so good conditions for sailing. Otherwise, championship of Russia wouldn’t spend here for the fourth time.I think that crew of Anatoly Loginov will be in a final. Perhaps, team of Oleg Hoperskiy and Dmitry Samokhin will fight for medals. Unfortunately, we have little chance for winning. You should training and work a lot, to get the best. But you can`t do it in one day.
We would like to remind you, that registration for championship “Russian Dragon Open” will end tomorrow at 10 am. Today at 15:00 practice race will be held and competitions will start on Thursday at 13 am, after opening ceremony.
