The Young Sailors' Academy is a special and beloved project. Organization of children's family trips on yachts is always a responsible task, you need to provide every detail. But the result is worth it! Summer 2021: 2 shift 3 – 10 july (1 shift 26 june – 3 july) We open the seventh season of family yachting. There will be many new and interesting things! 
WHAT IS THAT?
The Academy of Young Navigators is more than a yacht! We know from experience: a sea trip on a yacht with active training and participation in the life of a boat is a complete change of the usual picture and type of activity, a reboot of adults and children, a cool alternative to the usual hotel tourism. Children's regattas are an opportunity to live a new, unlike anything else emotional experience of traveling with a child, in which there are no passive roles. Parents discover their children from new angles, see their wisdom and courage, their readiness to work together and overcome difficulties, their happiness every minute at sea. 
WHAT IS THE FORMAT?
Format: active rest of children with parents.On the water 3-4 hours a day. During sea crossings, captains share their knowledge on yacht management, laying routes, setting sails and more.Overnights in ports and anchors in quiet coves.Lots of swimming, games and walks.New knowledge and skills.
Under the guidance of experienced captains and counselors, the team embarks on a week-long maritime expedition on comfortable cruise yachts. We select qualified skippers who teach the participants of the expedition to seawork and charge adults and children with a love of the sea and adventure!
WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO?
Together with the captains, we will raise sails, stand at the helm and lay out routes on maps. Together with the counselors, we will learn how to knit sea knots, have a picnic on a desert island, climb a mountain, sing many songs together, sway in the “pirate swing” and properly salt in the “pirate jacuzzi”! We will learn to find the North Star, the Big and Little Dipper in the night sky. While children have fun, parents can devote their free time to their hobbies, and can join the children, which is often no less, but more interesting! You don’t have to worry about what to do with your kids on vacation. Especially for parents, we have come up with a “parenting hour” – every evening counselors will pick up children and watch a film on the deck under the stars, discuss the past day and make plans for the next, giving parents the opportunity to sit after dinner for a glass of wine or walk along the shore. 
HOW IS FOOD ORGANIZED?
Breakfast and lunches are prepared on yachts together or in turn, each crew on their own boat. Dinners are usually at restaurants on the beach. Products are purchased from the ship's cash register. The cash register is formed by the crew, usually about 80 euros per week per person. Restaurants and alcohol are not included in the cash register. ble double cabins. 5 cabins have 3 bathrooms with shower and hot water (depending on the model of the boat). Each boat has its own kitchen with everything you need.
Children's regatta is when training necessarily alternates with entertainment and rest. Transitions are small – 1.5-3 hours, every day we land on new beaches and spend a lot of time in traffic on the shore. And no gadgets! First of all, no time! Secondly, nobody remembers! WHAT DOES THAT DO? By the end of the journey, parents and child will know what the work of a sailor, a boatsman, a navigator, a radio operator, an assistant captain is, as well as what a gazebo knot is, how to knit faucets, stuff a duck, give and receive moorings and loudly shout “anchor is clear” when we embark on the journey. In addition to new experiences and vivid memories, you will have new friends. And they will appear not only in children, but also in their parents! Yachting unites whole families around the world who are happy to visit each other and meet at new regattas! 
SAFETY AND HEALTH
All participants of the yacht journey are insured. Insurance with extension for active rest on the water. The first aid kit on the yacht will be quite voluminous, but if you have special prescriptions, then take the necessary medicines with you. It is also important to carefully complete a medical questionnaire for each participant.
FROM WHAT AGE CAN CHILDREN BE TAKEN TO REGATTA?
Children's programs are designed on average for children from 6 to 12 years. If you are younger, you need to talk and discuss. We have four-year-olds who feel great and fit perfectly into the team. Children younger - it can be difficult in camping conditions, but most importantly, it can be difficult for you, parents. If in doubt, let's communicate, call us or write to the votsap and discuss everything. All our captains in children's regattas are dads, so they will be able to both captivate children with sail and find a common ground with them.
As for children over 12 years old – we unite them according to interests in a separate group – they either help counselors and are real assistant captains. In coordination with parents, we can form a separate boat with teenagers, where there will be an experienced counselor and experienced captain, and where the guys will fully provide for their lives. This yacht will be in the same flotilla as everyone else, so at all stops we will all be together.
