Sponsored by RADIO MONTE CARLO!(Sochi, Russia)- The winter season is not a reason to stop sailing, that is why the organizers of the new project- “J/70 Winter Series RADIO MONTE CARLO”- will be hosting fleet racing in J/70 one-design class yachts on the Black Sea. FGBI "South Sports" in Sochi, a leading training center for the majority of the Russian Olympic team, is the organizer and will provide everything the yachtsmen need to participate in the four events from November 2016 to March 2017.
The Sochi Winter Series will be a great opportunity for Russian sailing teams (or Europeans who wish to enjoy some fun training in the sun!)
to continue training in the winter, keep in physical shape, develop
well-coordinated teamwork, and be fully prepared for the upcoming 2017
Russian National Sailing League. In fact, the first stage of the League
will take place in Sochi in late March, plus all Russian Sailing League
events will be sailed in the highly popular J/70 one-design class.
Therefore, training in Sochi all winter long will be very useful to any
sailing club wishing to take part in the 2017 Russian sailing league
program.The Winter Series will consist of four stages:
- Stage 1 - November 18-20
- Stage 2 - January 27-29
- Stage 3 - February 24-26
- Finale - March 17-19
The
team may enter one (or all stages) of the series, except the Finale.
The Finale will include the winners of each stage; nine teams in total
will qualify from the first three stages. If a team “places” in two or
more stages, the next best team will qualify to participate in the
Finale in March.The schedule for each weekend follows:
- Friday- orientation/ training program
- Saturday- opening of the regatta, racing day, “Yacht” Dinner for the teams
- Sunday - racing day, regatta awards
The first phase starts in November! Reserve soon! For any questions please contact Anna Zenkina- email- a.zenkina@vfps.ru or ph# +7 (916) 993-36-95
