The results of ten races is the best among the Russians became an “academician” Andrei Fedorov, who took 20th place in the fleet of almost 150 participants.
From the first launches of the Russian juniors have declared themselves. On the first day in three parishes showed Andrei Fedorov and Kirill Shanenkov. Alexander Minibaev won the first race of the regatta in their fleet, and Marina Babkina and even impressed everyone with his third coming that day, despite the fact that she was in the lead most of the race. But the success of last season, when “academician” Maxim Shaposhnikov was awarded the bronze medal of the regatta, retry failed – too unstable were the results guys.
Parishes in a dozen alternated with frankly disastrous races, most often due to a bad start either the wrong tactics in the first tacking. One of the favorites of the fleet, Cyril Shanenkov, twice came under the black flag. Similar errors are repeated and Minibaev and Marcus, and a number of other athletes.

The moment of luck was almost impossible, every point had to get in the fight with well-trained opponents.”
