At
City Day of StPetersburg, 27 of May, Russian gigs started
the season. Two crews 13 people each held two rowing races in one
day.
At morning "Enchante" won 1st position in short race – 0.5 mile, "Dignite" was
the third on the finish line.
And at noon in marathon race for "Shtandart" prize team of Dignite
on distance of 4.5 (!) miles shown excellent rowing and strength and won the
race in 10-oars boats class. This race has two pecularities – Shtandart team
traditionally arrange this in the historical center of StPetersburg, and all
boats have one start signal and one start space, not shared for lines. It was
a difficult task for cox's'ns to keep the oars safe, turning around the buoy
with 22 more boats.
Our congratulations to all crewmembers and cox's'ns!
