Travels Motivation / / December 19, 2019
In today's post will be a lot of video. A collection for those who want to see with my own eyes a variety of aspects seylinga: everyday moments, charter sport. In commercials, but really, with real people.
First, a little drive. Children's sailing. Yes, it exists. And in our country, too. If you live in a city where there is a yacht club, ask: if there was a children's section. This is not just a sports circle and activity for a child (teenager) in the summer, in his spare time. It's a real sport, it is hardening, useful skills, theoretical base, and most importantly - it is a dream that draws more abruptly than computer games and questionable crowd. Children in this video, these funny, angular boats - has little real athletes, they are already sick sails. Children's regatta (start, race highlights, awards), the most interesting thing in the middle:
And here is a serious yachting in adults. Severe race and furious adrenaline:
And now - the usual frames of the charter, for those who are planning to travel and do not want extreme. This is pure relaxation, relax. But there is no advertising glitz and gloss. Ordinary people on a rented sailing catamaran leisurely walk along the shore and cast anchor in a most pleasurable place. Boring after sports passion, but if you imagine that there can be on the board you will look much more fun:

Ever wondered how a yacht parked? That is moored. It may be not an easy task. From the outside, for the beginner usually looks mooring with ease, as the video below. But in fact it is more difficult than to park the car, just as in ndtsat: imagine the volume of the yacht, the inertia and the cost of repairing minor damage.
And finally - the motivation in its purest form. In the world there are many athletes who can admire, whose strength of will and character to be envied, looking at them, surprised by the possibilities of the body. One of these people, or rather one - Ellen MacArthur. Lady Ellen MacArthur. It is a legend, a kind of icon for thousands of people, a great yachtswoman from Britain. A woman who committed circumnavigation alone and set a world record of 71 days. Imagine: one on a yacht, a ragged sleep 2 hours a day, huge physical activity, nerves, unforeseen circumstances, the danger, the daily risk. Film Ellen MacArthur - The Official Record Breaking Story is available for download on different resources. Even without knowing English, it can be appreciated: camcorder recordings to a board makes a strong impression. Especially when you see Helen was dead tired, crying, almost broken, and then - again the fight, animal force, survival, race, and at the end of a luxurious finish. After this film give in to some difficulties and domestic experience due to the fact that the shoes rubbed his leg no longer want. A fragment of video from Ellen MacArthur on the basis of the frame of the movie, unfortunately, without translation:
Start talking about the great yachtsmen, it is difficult to stop. If the topic is interesting, it would be desirable to prepare a separate article with a selection of the biggest names in the world of yachting and their brief biography.
