A little story of "Rati"

in knot •  7 years ago 

I do not remember how long ago it was. At that time I studied at the University of Physical Education and Sports. My specialization was sailing and I certainly dreamed of the sea.

I, my cousin and his friend all together decided to rent a yacht for the summer season. We did not have much money and we were looking for a boat affordable. Of course the choice was from battered yachts in the backyard of the yacht club. We found "Rati".

The project is called Scorpio 34, but it seems it was in a single copy. "Rati" was made in Russia for one Georgian authoritative bandit. When we found this boat, the thug was already in jail, but the harbor master helped us organize the yacht repair so that we could remove these firewood from under his windows.





There was a lot of work, we had to hire a professional carpenter, because half of the wooden hull was rotten. Yes, we was inexperienced and got involved in difficult work. After the yacht saw the sea again, we had to roll tourists all summer to get our money back. As a result, we had a yacht only for business.

On this photo a beautiful day on the Black Sea in late spring when "Rati" posed for advertising.
Does anyone know the name of the second sail on the left?

P.S. The name of that bandit was Ratishvili
