Once a year the St. Petersburg week of classical yachting gives citizens a chance to witness a true sailing race. There they can see the uncompromising battle taking place between sailors, their characters, the wind and the waves all only several hundred metres from one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Only the most prepared and close-knit team have a chance at winning. That said, predicting the results under such difficult conditions is an extremely tricky thing to do.
