Sedov (Russia)
Sedov (Russia)

(PRWEB UK) 9 April 2014 -- The international fleet will be sailed by over 1000 international trainees. The event is a legacy of the Sochi Winter Olympics, endorsed by Russian President Vladmir Putin.

Sponsored by Sovcomflot (SCF) - one of the world’s largest shipping companies, based in Russia - the event supports SCF’s social responsibility to support young people in maritime professions and bolsters the interest for the maritime industry among Russia’s youth.

Russia’s Deputy Minister of Transport, Viktor Olersky said, “The Sochi 2014 Games rejuvenated the city of Sochi; it has left an invaluable legacy and the arrival of the international SCF Black Sea Tall Ships Regatta fleet shows that.”

Sail Training International is bringing twenty-two Tall and Small Ships (including eight Russian and two Ukrainian) to the region, to race from Varna, Bulgaria to Novorossisyk, Russia; cruise to Sochi, Russia and then race in a final leg to Constanta, Romania.

The International Tall Ships fleet represents eleven different nationalities – Bulgaria, Russia, Malta, Netherlands, Pakistan, Ukraine, Romania, Spain, Sweden, Turkey, UK.

The vessels will be sailed by over 1000 trainees from around the world, all taking part in the adventure activity of sail training, confronting demanding challenges at sea, both physical and emotional.

Sail Training is an activity that inspires self-confidence and personal responsibility and promotes an acceptance of others, whatever their social or cultural backgrounds. Those who undertake Sail Training on Tall Ships find it a positive life-changing experience.

The SCF Black Sea Tall Ships Regatta is part of the sporting legacy of the Winter Olympics in Sochi, supported by President Vladimir Putin.

Russia’s Deputy Minister of Transport, Viktor Olersky said, “The Sochi 2014 Games rejuvenated the city of Sochi and contributed to the economic, cultural and environmental development of the entire Krasnodar Region. It has left an invaluable legacy and the arrival of the international SCF Black Sea Tall Ships Regatta fleet shows that.”

Robin Snouck-Hurgronje, Event Chairman, Sail Training International, said, “This special event is also making its mark in the maritime history books. The largest sail training ship in the world, Sedov (Russia) is joining three other Russian ships in the race - Mir, Kruzenshtern, Nadezhda - to sail and race against each other for the first time in maritime history.”

Event and race dates:
Varna, Bulgaria
Wednesday 30 April - Saturday 3 May
Race 1

Friday 9 – Monday 12 May

What is sail training?
Sail Training is an adventure activity, which includes far more than sailing instruction. Participants are required to confront demanding challenges, both physical and emotional. It is an activity that inspires self-confidence and personal responsibility. It promotes an acceptance of others, whatever their social or cultural backgrounds, and develops a willingness to take controlled risks. Those who undertake Sail Training on Tall Ships generally find it a positive life-changing experience.
