UNITED SAILING WEEK 2021
United Sailing Week - a week of yacht racing and fellowship with like-minded people!
The concept of United Sailing Week is the best sailing race, so the organizers are striving to provide the best yachts to the participants.
We invite not only experienced sailors but also beginners to take part in the regatta. Under the guidance of an experienced skipper, you will learn the basics of sailing and will feel like a fish in water on a yacht.
Every year we improve the racing program and help our guests to have a wonderful rest after the races. We do not go from marina to marina and do not waste time on boring races - everyone returns to the base at 15-16 and can spend time talking, sightseeing, and of course our varied program!
The racing routes in this place are unique! The judging committee builds routes around the small islands, and uses the local beautiful landscape as signs and obstacles on the racecourse!
In this regatta, all boats are the same and race in the same divisions! No handicaps - if you came first you will be the first!)
Great weather, good wind, worthy rivals and cool evening events in a warm and friendly atmosphere make this regatta a must-visit!

Discussion
FAQ
Can I participate in a regatta if I don’t have yachting experience?
Yes, of course. There will be an experienced skipper and team members on the yacht. They will give you a role and teach you everything you need to know to be a useful team member and feel comfortable.
Will I be able to steer a yacht?
Yes, all team members will definitely try themselves in different roles to better understand each other. Standing at the helm is an integral part of training for beginners as well as setting sails, and helping the team during moorings.
Where will I live during the regatta?
As a rule, participants in the regatta live on the yacht. The boat has everything you need for a comfortable stay: nice beds, a kitchen, a shower with toilet. If you do not want to live on a yacht, then you can arrange to stay at the hotel onshore.
What will we eat?
The crew decides altogether what kind of food they prefer to eat and makes necessary purchases. Simple dishes can be cooked, usually taking turns. Some regattas offer daily meals and intensive evening program for all crews.
Do you help with a visa?
We can make an invitation for a visa, but you need to apply for a visa by yourself.
Will I have seasick? What should I do if I have sickness?
Most people tolerate some seasickness easily. If you feel that you are starting to feel sick, it is best to get at the steering wheel or tune the sails. Get yourself busy, show your body that you don’t have time to get sick, you have to fight for victory in the race. There are also many quite effective medicines from sickness. If you start taking them in advance, then the probability of seasickness is almost zero.
How and where will I meet the crew and the captain?
Before each trip, we organize an online meeting where participants get to know each other and the captain. The captain will answer all your questions. The crew will have a group chat so you can get to know each other before the start of the regatta. Then you will meet in the marina.
What clothes do I need?
The main rule is to dress comfortably and according to the weather. Clothing: • windbreaker and pants or shorts; • shirt/jacket with UV protection (thermal underwear and fleece); • adjustable hat/cap; • gloves. We recommend to purchase a long-sleeved jacket with UV protection in order to protect yourself from the sun and strong wind. Yachting shoes should be: • light, with non-slip white outsole; • with the fixed heel; • with a tightly closed nose. During the sailing without shoes, you can fall or injure your fingers and feet on the deck. There are many protruding parts on the boat that are easy to catch. Unfortunately, even experienced sailors are not protected from unpleasant injuries when they ignore this simple rule.
