Black sea, Ukraine
This year, to start of competitions only 13 catamarans gathered. Not densely. Usually, boats happens twice more, it is seen the previous regattas thinned out ranks wishing to be driven. Some simply went to campaigns. Well it is fine who arrived – that good fellow, differently the regatta absolutely could not take place. All fleet was divided into two classes: to 10 sq.m (6 catamarans) and it is more than 10 sq.m (7 catamarans).

According to the plan start of a regatta was from Azure on the island Dzharylgach. After opening of competitions start appointed on 12.00. The fleet came to water race began. Gradually the wind amplified from 5-6 m/s to 10-12 m/s. The short counter wave was unpleasant. But on it strengthening of a wind didn't end and by 15.00 wind force reached 15 m/s. Leaders started reducing the area of the main sail. Under the preliminary contract if it isn't possible to reach east region of the island, at 16.00 the leader comes to the coast, as was made. It was unreasonable to fight against a rigid head wind. The first transition made 20 km. - exactly a half from the planned 40 km. During this race didn't manage without loss: from 13 catamarans to the finish came only 8, from them from an elementary grade – 5 Ducky17 and 3 of the senior. The others, for various reasons left race.
