(Konakovo, Volga River, Russia)- The first eight J/70s have been
delivered (of a ten boat fleet) to the famous Volga River. They will be
based at a four-stars Konakovo River Club (a hotel-conference center)
situated on the shores of the Upper Volga (http://bit.ly/1vIMT8N)
northwest of Moscow. The Konakovo River Club was selected by the
Russian Sailing Federation as a growth point for sailing in Russia.Much like their counterparts in Germany, Denmark and The Netherlands, all events are supported by their national sailing federations as a way to grow sailing participation for all citizens and communities, the Russian Sailing Federation will start the Russia's National Sailing League in late September 2014! At least ten clubs are invited to participate in this inaugural event and the hope is to grow it across the country from the Baltic Sea to the west, to the Black Sea and Caspian Sea to the south and maybe even the Bering Sea to the east, and all principal sailing lakes in between!! Please note, the J/70 Fleet will be available for charters, regattas and other activities like sailing seminars and coaching!
