      Astrakhan. Championship. Afterword.
      At the end of September, more than a hundred athletes from all over Russia gathered in Astrakhan. The city for the first time hosted the championship and championship of Russia in sailing in the classes Luch, Luch-Radial and Luch-Mini.

In the May 1896 issue of the Astrakhan Leaf in the article “On the Yacht Club in General and on Our Future in Particular,” a certain “caring Astrakhan” joyfully welcomed the news of the opening of the club and rhetorically asked: “I have to be surprised at such a late appearance of the yacht club, taking into account the location of the city and its insignificant distance from the sea ”, which, however,“ is better late than never, because amateur swimming is undoubtedly one of the noblest sports … ”.

"Noblest" for a century, in principle, has not changed. The same sail, the same boat. There are more caring people. Like those who want to stay incognito. A modern hero who wants to remain anonymous is also ironically motivated: he is not indifferent. And now he has the opportunity for a “sharp” dialogue on the pages of a respected metropolitan publication:

– Why did the Russian Sailing Federation choose our city as the venue for such a serious competition? Astrakhan, alas, is not a place where sails “tremble” in the wind and pennants “rinse”. Neither any traditions, nor special achievements – and a sail on the Volga rarely pleases the eye of a city dweller …

Answers Valery Prokopenko, organizer of the competition, president of the regional branch of the Russian Sailing Federation:

– The allegation. Traditions are not born from scratch. They are formed quite naturally in the cultural community, and then sport, and in particular yachting, becomes life, such a form of existence. Now we know a lot about our yachting past. And what traditions were laid in the basis of this idea. But in the fire of the revolution and the Civil War, almost the entire amateur fleet, which was formed for 22 years, like the building of the yacht club itself, literally burned down. The very phenomenon of yachting as the fun of the “rich” (that is a complete untruth) simply ceased to exist.

Before the war, neither the fleet, nor yachting sports in the city simply did not exist. After – they were engaged in by single enthusiasts. A single organizational and sports center for this work appeared only in 1953 with the opening of the Sailing and Rowing Club. And again, rowers were preferred. One could name dozens of wonderful names of athletes and coaches who left a bright mark in regional yachting. All these materials are on the website of our yacht club. Unfortunately, our athletes did not show themselves in the republican and all-Russian competitions.

In the 70s and 80s, yacht clubs organized at specialized educational institutions, in particular, the Caspian Maritime College, did not fade away a wonderful sport. The real breakthrough was made with the organization in the late 80s of the Rivmar Water-Sailing Center, the Astrakhan Yacht Club, and the establishment of a regional branch of the Russian Sailing Federation. Dozens of regatta trips, competitions and the participation of our teams in national and international competitions were the result of the hard work of the organizers of sailing. That is our history in general terms. She is humble. But she is ours!

As for the competition of such a high rank in our city – this is the right, pragmatic decision, which we consider as an advance and an act of great confidence. And do not forget that holding the championship and the championship of Russia here is a resonant action that popularizes this sport, attracts the attention of not only citizens and guests of the city, but also the authorities, from which we expect more attention and financial support …

– The championship is over, how do you assess its organization and did you manage to fulfill the “huge plans”?

– It’s not for me to evaluate the quality side of the preparation of the competitions, the direct participants – coaches, athletes and judges will tell about this. There was no “debriefing" of flights. But, something is obvious: there are mistakes, there are miscalculations … The championship, like litmus paper, sharply outlined all our problems. We really hope that as a result of such competitions of an all-Russian scale, we will finally have our own sailing sports school. We strengthened our ties and worked closely with the Ministry of Education and Science, and the Ministry of Sports. We had no problems with them, except for one thing – not a penny of money was allocated for the competition … Thanks to the sponsors: "Astrakhan branch of LUKOIL-NIZHNEVOLZHSKNEFTEPRODUKT"!

– You are one of the most experienced competitors, have been measuring ships for fifty years, are we very interested in your point of view on the championship and championship in Astrakhan?

This question is answered by Yuri Ignatievich Degtyarev, the oldest member of the judiciary, judge of Russia, measurer:

– It was a great competition. Impeccably organized and conducted. I have been to many places, but I have never met such a reception anywhere. Of course, the athletes had their own difficulties. As elsewhere in competitions. The water area of ​​the Volga River, on which the competitions took place, was very difficult. Due to the flow and many ducts. But everyone was on an equal footing. I did not see the work of the coaches with my students on a daily analysis of the races held, where it would be necessary to take into account the hydrology of the river, the speed of the current. Hence the mistakes of sailors at a distance …

– What are the successes of our team? What did you, as the organizer of the contest, point out?

Answers Andrei Lyukshin, organizer of the competition, member of the Presidium of the regional branch of the FPS of Russia:

– Success is more than modest. So far, our achievements are our coaches, technicians, volunteers. The championship was held in extreme weather conditions: cold rain and calmness gave way to a short “bucket” with a breeze, and again rain. Two days athletes just sat on the beach in anticipation of the conditions for the race. As a result, out of the twelve planned, it was difficult to carry out only eight …

Lack of resources was felt very strongly. Boats, motors, and other equipment necessary for the championship were collected in crumbs. Some funds appeared at the last moment, and all the time they felt limited, that in prizes, in paying for the work of people … We live on the water, and there are no conditions for creating the development of sailing sports. All equipment is built literally on his knees. No pontoons, no slips, no fleet … Of course, the lack of experience in conducting such events affected.

I personally have nothing to compare the result of the organization of the championship with. There is no experience of traveling to other competitions of this level. First of all, this is the result of the lack of funding for our sport. There is no way to assess the validity of the claims of the participants – we do not know again who has better conditions, who has worse. I don’t want to learn from my mistakes, but I have to …

– What are the impressions of the competition for those who were on the water? Is criticism from some racers justified?

Answers Andrey Paltsev, captain of the second referee ship:

– For Astrakhan – this is the first time! For Astrakhan – this is an event! More than a dozen teams and one hundred and thirty participants! How many people – so many opinions. Of course, the lack of experience and knowledge of the nuances that for some yachtsmen turned out to be decisive in their negative assessment affected them.

In fact, I accept only one claim – the lack of locker rooms. Annoyance was about the water area, beach, parking for cars, weather and strong currents. Well, you can disassemble each individually. Something refers to the unsolvable (rain and current). Something was supposed in advance (parking is not in a racing clearing). Something is not in the competence of the organizers (refereeing). The water area was cramped and needed to be quickly understood. Hydrology – when the river spreads over four branches is unique – and who could figure it out, he was in a winning situation. In any case, everyone was in the same conditions.

There was a competitive drive, but the ones who were dissatisfied with the distance or the location of the starting line were always and everywhere … So, if we were in the same “field” for the first time, then let's work together to make it the second time already a real sports base.

Be that as it may – for Astrakhan it is a holiday, and thanks to everyone who prepared it and participated in it!

– What did you personally endure while being on the river in the thick of the competitive process?

– I think for all of us this is a huge experience and an occasion to think about the correctness of the training process and the technical preparation of the fleet. You can’t buy it for any money. Acquaintance and communication with Athletes with a capital letter, the opportunity to see technical and tactical training are worth a lot.

– And how do our young compatriots evaluate their participation in the competitions?

Answers Vladislav Glazkov, club "Young Yachtsman" of the Astrakhan Center for Aesthetic Education of Children and Youth:

– It was not easy to chase. This is a bit not our level. Strongly not ours … Unfortunately, sailing in Astrakhan – unlike other regions of the country – is very poorly developed …

Alisa Belkina, Astrakhan water-sailing center "Rivmar":

– Of course it's hard. For example, my race. Now it’s more about gaining experience than results …

Well, well, together with the "caring Astrakhan" we dare to say that the sports took place. And the competition near the Sail in our city "by the river, by the sea" – to live and be!

The phenomenon of yachting as fun of the rich” (which is so not true) simply ceased to exist.

Before the war, no Navy, no yachting sports in the city simply did not exist. After, they were engaged in both individual enthusiasts. Common organizational and sports centre of this work appeared only in 1953 with the opening of the Sailing and rowing club. Again, preference was given to grebnice. You can name dozens of great names of athletes and coaches, left a bright trace in the regional yachting. All these materials are on the site of our yacht club.

Fade away is a wonderful sport in the 70-ies and 80-ies gave no yacht clubs, organized by specialized training institutions – in particular, the Caspian naval College.

– It was a great competition. Impeccably organized and conducted. I’ve been places, but this procedure never met. Of course, the athletes had their difficulties. Like everywhere else in the competition. The waters of the river Volga, on which there is a competition, was very difficult. Because of the current, and a plurality of ducts. But all were in equal conditions. I didn’t see the trainers work with their pupils on a daily analysis of the races where it would be necessary to consider the hydrology of the river, the rate of flow. Hence the error yachtsmen on the course…

– What are the successes of our team? That said You, as the organizer of the contest?

Meets Andrey Lyukshin, organizer of competitions, member of the Presidium of the regional office of Federal border service of Russia:

– The achievements are more than modest. Yet, our achievements are our coaches, techs, volunteers. The championship was held in extreme weather conditions: cold rain and wind gave way to a short “bucket” with the wind, and again the rain. Two days the drivers just sat on the beach waiting for conditions for the race. In the end of the twelve scheduled barely managed to hold only eight…

Very much a shortage of resources. Boats, motors, other equipment necessary for the championship, collecting bit by bit. Funds some appeared at the last moment, and all the time felt their limitation is that the prizes that the work of the people… We live on the water, and the conditions for the establishment and development of sailing sports absolutely no. All equipment is built literally on his knees. No pontoons, no slips, no Navy… of Course, the lack of experience in holding such events affected.

I personally have nothing to compare the result of the organization of the championship. No experience of leaving for other competitions of such level. First and foremost, it is the result of lack of funding of our sport. The inability to assess the validity of the claims of the participants – do not know again, who better, who is worse. I do not want to learn from your mistakes, but you have…

– What are your impressions of the competition from those who were on the water? Whether justified criticism from some participants of the race?

Meets Andrew Finger, the second captain of the judicial ship:

– To Astrakhan, for the first time! For Astrakhan is an event! More than a dozen teams and one hundred and thirty participants! How many people – so many opinions. Of course, affected by the lack of experience and knowledge of the nuances that for some boaters turned out to be decisive in their negative assessment.

In fact, I take only one complaint – the lack of dressing rooms. Irritation about the area, beach, Parking lot, weather and strong currents. Well, you can review each separately. It pertains to unsolvable (rain and flow). Something was assumed in advance (Parking of vehicles not on the race clearing). Something not in the competence of the organisers (judging). The area was cramped and it had to be quick to understand. Hydrology – when the river flows four unique sleeves, – and who was able to understand it, he was in a winning situation. In any case, all were under the same conditions.

The competitive drive was, but that was dissatisfied with the distance or location of the starting line – these were always and everywhere… So WHA if we were in the same “field” for the first time, let’s work together to make the second time it was a true sports facilities.

Anyway – for Astrakhan is a celebration and thank you to all who prepared and participated in it!

– What You personally have learned, being on the river, in the midst of a competitive process?

– I think for all of us is a great experience and an occasion to reflect on the correctness of the training process and technical training of the fleet. It for any money can not buy. And that the acquaintance and communication with Athletes with a capital letter, the opportunity to see technical and tactical training are expensive.

– And how our young countrymen appreciate your participation in competitions?

Meets Vladislav Glazkov, club “Young sailor” of the Astrakhan Centre of aesthetic education of children and youth:

– It was not easy to chase. That’s not our level. Much is not ours… unfortunately, sailing in Astrakhan – in contrast to other regions of the country is developed very poorly…

Alice Belkin, Astrakhan water-sailing center “Rivmar”:

– Of course it’s hard. For example, my race. Now it’s more the experience than the results…

Well, along with “concerned person from Astrakhan,” I dare say that sports competitions were held. And competition sailing in the city “by the river, by the sea” – to live and to be!

      "Battleship" gets the bronze medal of the world championship TP52 in Spain

On August 29, in Puerto Portals in Mallorca, the TP52 world championship ended, which was also the fourth stage of 52SuperSeries. According to the results of the competition, the German Platoon team won. For the first time in the history of participation in TP52 world championships, the crew of the St. Petersburg Yacht Club won a bronze medal.

As expected, the final day of the World Cup was the most stressful, because the teams up to the seventh line of the standings (where the current world champions, the Quantum Racing Americans were) had a theoretical chance to take the gold from the Platoon Germans leading at that time. Accordingly, it was the German team that was on the spot for everyone, and it seemed that the nerves could not stand it. The Mueller-Spreer crew received the first fine in the pre-launch procedure of the first race of the day. He was followed by two more fines during the day and two penalty points for a collision with Quantum Racing.

Looking ahead, it should be said that, despite the difficulties, the Germans were already very good in this championship. Let the final day be the most unlucky for them, the safety margin was enough to become world champions for the second time (the first gold in 2017).

It was also a hectic day for the titled Italians Azzurra. The Costa Smeralda Yacht Club team also spent a bad day, but there was just enough margin to get ahead of all rivals by one point and hold the second line. This is the second silver of the World Cup in a row for Italians (and in total Azzurra has a lot more titles in TP52).

Well, the Turkish-British Provezza became the star of the day. As you know, the boat of the Turks lost its mast in the first race of the first day. The crew managed to deliver their old mast to the competition site, install it (using parts borrowed from other teams) and go the distance. Yes, it’s not easy to leave – the team of Ergin Imre amazed everyone with the best result of the day, 1 and 3 parishes! Unfortunately for Provezza the baggage of the glasses was too heavy – the final ninth place.

Anticipating exceptional competition on the water, the Battleship crew continued to follow a proven strategy. Moreover, the wind was very light, no more than 6-7 knots – not the most favorable conditions for the Battleship. The team was conservative at the starts and acted as cautiously as possible. True, this did not help in the first race. From all indications, the Battleship appeared to go round the five, but a sudden change in the wind pushed the blue boat into the tail of the fleet. With difficulty managed to finish seventh.

In the second (final, ninth) race, things went better – fourth on the first mark and fourth on the finish. Such a result saved a bronze medal for the Battleship with a minimal advantage over Sled from the New York Yacht Club.

“We opened the championship with the seventh result and finished third – this is a long way that the team has traveled over four days,” said Vladimir Lyubomirov, skipper of the Bronenosets team. – Our medal is really deserved, we fought for every meter of the distance with the most titled teams of the planet and withstood incredible pressure! “The medals of the season are at stake – and we feel confident that we can compete for them!”

The medal of the World Cup 2019 is the first in the career of the Battleship and the second this year. Previously, bronze was won by the results of the second stage in Porto Sherry. Thus, before the final stage of the series, “Battleship” came close to the first three of the overall classification of the season 52SuperSeries 2019. Everything will be decided at the end of September in Porto Cervo.

      The first races took place at the Russian Championship in sailing in international classes
      The first days of the Russian Championship in international classes do not please riders with a fresh and stable wind. The day before, the organizers did not have a single race. Today's racing day could also not have taken place, but towards evening, the wind still appeared on the water area of ​​the Neva Bay of the Gulf of Finland and the athletes entered the water. A variable and unstable wind with a force of 4 to 6 knots even allowed the organizers to conduct two races in each of the classes.

“We thought that if nothing blew out at 15.00, then we will postpone the race until tomorrow, but implicitly kept in mind the thought:“ What if something happens! ”Says the main judge of the competition Vladimir Komel. – When the unstable south wind of 4 knots began to work, we decided to give the riders a command to go out to the water for the first time to feel the water area. I must say that we guessed right. Yes, the wind was not very strong, constantly changing direction, but nevertheless we managed to conduct two races at all three distances. This was done primarily for the riders themselves! "

The first to return to the shore were athletes of the "red" distance, where windsurfers were chasing. Fatigue was visible on the faces of the guys – they were clearly not just given the race in calm. In such weather conditions, the athletes had to pump up a lot, and the first place was not technical skills, but physical power.

In the Techno class, under the age of 15, the sailing Academy athlete Maxim Lukyanov was the best at pumping, showing the third and second arrivals. Behind him are the athletes from Sevastopol – Dmitry Nesterenko (five points) and Nikita Nezhentsev (six). In the age category up to 17 years old Danila Dineev from Meleuz twice came first and became the absolute leader. At an older age, the leader is the windsurfer from the Moscow "SSHOR No. 26" Ivan Efimov, who scored three points. Andrey Spiridonov (Academy of Sailing, five points) and Alexey Efremov (Krestovsky Island, six points) catch up with him in the standings.

In the RS: X Olympic class, under the age of 21, Anton Tokarev from Moscow “SSHOR No. 26” and Yegor Zhilin, an athlete from the Academy of Sailing and the Krestovsky Island, compete for leadership. In the table of windsurfers, two points are divided. In the U-19 standings, Sochi racer Konstantin Kochkonyan (three points) comes first.

The championship of Russia in the class "Nakra 15", in fact, is held in a match-flight format. Two mixed crews from the Rostov Region entered it – Nikolai Goryainov / Evelina Milvit and Anastasia Mayorova / Dmitry Pipnik. From this race, of course, benefit in entertainment. So far, the Goryainov / Milvit crew, having won both races, is succeeding in a full-time duel.

At the same distance with “Nakram 15” sailors in the “29th” class are chasing, where on the first day there was a slight surprise. The favorites of the Russian Championship in international classes and one of the best domestic young crews – Ilya Chuprina / Rodion Brovin from the Academy of Sailing – after winning the first race came 16 in the second. According to the results of the first race day, the athletes are on the eighth line, but the guys are clearly able to clear the gap in the next races. The female crew of the SSHOR Khlebnikovo, Daria Matrosova / Albina Denisova, leads. Only one point behind him is the riders from Krestovsky Island – Maxim Bondar / Danila Roerich and Victoria Liksanova / Polina Pereshivkina.

In the 420 class, crews from the Krasnodar Territory and the Moscow Region detached from competitors – Mikhail Sakhovsky / Igor Malyavsky (six points) and Denis Lepin / Mikhail Karelin (seven). In the group of pursuers are sportsmen of the Academy of Sailing Anastasia Deryagina / Sofya Vereshchagina (third place) and Pavel Baryshnikov / Dmitry Yakobson (fifth place).

“In the morning there was no wind, we were released only in the evening, so everyone was slightly exhausted,” says Pavel Baryshnikov. – The wind was average, working.

Our parishes are normal – tenth and ninth, but still weak. Class "420" depends on the setting much more than on the level of knowledge. You can set up the yacht very well, and a lot will depend on it. In other boats, the tuning is not as much affected as in 420 and subsequent classes. ”

The largest class of the Championship of Russia in international classes is “Laser 4.7”. For the victory in this discipline immediately compete 95 riders. Before each race day, athletes are randomly divided into two fleets. After the qualification, they will form a “golden” and “silver” fleet (48 – “golden”, 47 – “silver”) and will be chased directly by the fleets.

After the first day, the Krestovsky Island athletes lead the qualification in the Laser 4.7 class. In the first place is Dmitry Golovkin, and only one point behind him are Peter Pashutinsky and Maxim Shaposhnikov.

“Today I have two second parishes,” says Maxim Shaposhnikov. – I'm not the first, but the most stable. I like “Laser” because of the promising classes this one is the only loner. When you are racing in a carriage, success depends not only on you. Alone, it all depends on you – and trouble, and victory. I can win the Championship of Russia – I have every chance. "

Based on the results of the competition, the national teams will be determined in the appropriate classes, which will represent Russia at international regattas in 2020.
