traditions LAZAREVSKAYA SAILING SCOOL

It is no accident that our school is stationed in a small town on the Black Sea named after MP Lazarev. Under the command of the admiral, in the first half of the 19th century the Black Sea Fleet strengthened the state border along the coast and one of the forts at the mouth of the Psezuapse River was named after Lazarev.

But the main merit of this sailor was participation in the First Russian Antarctic Expedition. In fact, Mikhail Lazarev and Thaddeus Bellingshausen are Russian columbs who discovered a new land in the latitudes where even the desperate Cook refused further research.

On Indeed, our small and not particularly remarkable town Lazarevskaya and could stay that way if not for the glory of a few sailors among them our legend Viktor Yazykov. Neither before nor after, none of the Russians achieved such successes in the international ocean regattas for solo skippers. Only Fedor Konyukhov, but we then residents of Lazarevskaya know who had a better yacht and who built it myself;)
For me personally, Victor's successes in the Around Alone 1998/99 race predetermined my own career.

Our Lazarevka is not the center of sailing, we have another yachting there;) And yet, Our people are always in place: Matsyusovich Roma and twice a participant in the Olympic Games Tanya Bazyuk, through their coaching hands Lazarevsky children get an idea of the sea wind and sails.

Today we are happy to present you the Lazarevskaya Sailing School online. Our task is to unite people and ideas related to sailing on the sea and planning over it;)

Direction of Lazarevskaya Sailing School

The author's opinion need not necessarily coincide with the opinion of the other members of the group. I support decentralization and think moderatorship is absurd.

The time of the Great Discoveries ended. The time of the Olympic sport ended after Pierre de Coubertin, when professionals came to work. The Olympics of 1936 finally compromised itself. I'm for a gentleman's bet, but there is something more urgent than personal ambitions, or even more ambitions of some kind of government.

It is Ecology, my friends. With our "progressive" economy, we dirtied the planet to the very ears. If today does not change the balance in the right direction, then the catastrophe is inevitable. In pursuit of superprofits, we ourselves rock our vessel - the planet.
No one will clean the garbage for free. History has proven that this does not work well.

To defeat a big economic mechanism, you need to create another tool directed to the other side. That is, the profitability of cleaning planet from plastic bottles and packages should at least be equal to the profitability of production, in truth, not the right product.
I, one of the teachers of the Lazarevskaya Sailing School, see my task as removing garbage in the ocean.
