Several hundred cadets from various educational institutions of the Russian Federal Agency for Fisheries located in the Far East, Kamchatka and Eastern Siberia annually undergo swimming practice on a sailboat.

This article provides only the briefest information about each legendary training sailboat. Of course, each of them has its own history, spanning decades, and filled with unforgettable voyages and impressions, tens of thousands of cadets who joined the sea on their decks and masts, making long voyages through fogs and storms, in different parts of the oceans.

It is worth noting that our country has not only the largest number of nautical and river schools, but also the largest fleet of training sailing ships.

In addition to specialized training sailboats assigned to various maritime educational institutions, there are other sailing ships in Russia, on which boys and girls, and even quite adult people, join the sea life. After all, the sea attracts not only young people, a craving for the sea and a desire to try oneself in overcoming difficulties at sea can appear in a person at any age. Therefore, every year various sailing ships and yachts surf the water expanses, for example, the Shtandart sailing ship and the Nadezhda sailing schooner.

Sailboat Shtandart, built in honor of the firstborn of the Baltic Fleet, a ship from the times of Peter the Great.

Photo taken in the port of Hamburg in February 2012.

The sailing schooner "Nadezhda" passes the protective dam in Kronstadt and follows the Great Kronstadt roadstead. Photo taken in August 2019.

Sailing ship "Poltava" at the Promenade des Anglais

Although the sailboat "Poltava" was built as a historical ship, even stepping on its deck, to some extent, there is an initiation to the sea, well, if you spend a few hours on it, for several more days, then in the sea and you can fall in love with ships.

The cadets, who will climb the decks of training sailboats for the first time, would like to say that it is not the ship that adorns the sailor, but the sailor, with his love for the ship and the sea, with his reasonable service zeal and concern for the technical serviceability of the ship, becomes its true decoration and the basis of safe and trouble-free navigation.

Not a single snow-white, and seemingly chic liner will become a home for an illiterate and irresponsible sailor, and any hard worker fishing trawler, or dry cargo ship on a coastal line, is transformed and becomes a reliable assistant and road to the future, a caring sailor who sincerely loves ships is devoted sea ​​and always conscientiously fulfills his duties on every ship, wherever the fate of a sailor takes him.

For a real sailor, first paper, and then small and rusty boats, are eventually replaced by huge ocean liners. There is no such force on earth that can become an obstacle in the way of a person who wants to be a sailor and is ready to devote his whole life to this, and let the words from the magnificent novel by Veniamin Kaverin “Two Captains” be parting words to him in this noble aspiration:

"Fight and seek, find and never give up!"

Picking up wallpaper for your desktop, I came across several photos of sailing ships flying the Russian flag. Surprised and intrigued me. Yes, and forced to raise materials on this issue. So the sailboats of Russia.

Bark "Kruzenshtern"

The company Laiesch und K, which existed in Hamburg at the beginning of the 20th century, owned a total of 56 barges, which had steel hulls and spars and excellent driving performance. Their names traditionally began with the letter "P" - "Flying P". The last of these was the four-masted barque Padua built in 1926 at the shipyard in Geestemünde. Until 1936, he carried saltpeter and phosphates from Chile to Germany and wheat from Australia, making two record crossings to Australia in 67 days, with an average voyage of 88 days. Since the beginning of the war, the bark was used as a cargo lighter, and when the fleet of Nazi Germany was divided, it was transferred to the Soviet Union as an indemnity.

In January 1946, the Soviet flag was hoisted on the ship, and it received a new name - in honor of the great Russian navigator Ivan Fedorovich Kruzenshtern (1770 - 1846), commander of the first Russian round-the-world expedition on the sloops "Nadezhda" and "Neva".

The condition of the vessel was not the best, there were no funds for repairs, and until 1955 the Kruzenshtern served as a floating barracks without going to sea. In June 1955, he was first taken to the raid for testing. The bark easily completed all the given maneuvers, and it was decided to use it as a training vessel, equipped according to modern requirements. In 1959 - 1961 the ship was overhauled. Two diesel engines of 588 kW each and all the necessary equipment were installed on it.

From 1961 to 1966 Kruzenshtern is a research ship of the USSR Academy of Sciences. Bark visited with expeditions Bermuda, Jamaica, Gibraltar, Casablanca, Halifax and other ports. Since 1966 - a training sailing ship with a home port - Riga, since 1981. - Tallinn, and since 1991 - Kaliningrad.

Kruzenshtern is the winner of the 1992 and 1994 Boston-Liverpool races, showing a record speed of 17.4 knots. This was not the limit, but given the age of the vessel, it was considered dangerous to develop a high speed.

In 1993, the barque again underwent a major overhaul in Wismar (Germany) with the replacement of engines and the installation of the most modern navigation and communication systems. It is still one of the largest sailing ships in the world (only the sail-motor training ship Sedov is larger than it).

Now, under the guidance of qualified mentors, cadets of nautical schools receive their first maritime knowledge and skills on the sailing and motor barque Kruzenshtern. Every year, about 800 young men who have chosen a maritime specialty practice here.

Bark "Sedov"

The ship was built at the Krupp shipyard in Kiel (Germany) in 1921. Its first owner, Carl Winnen, named the ship after his daughter, Magdalena Winnen. The vessel was designed and built for the purpose of transporting bulk cargoes between the ports of Europe and South America, Australia, Southeast Asia and Oceania. In 1936, Carl Winnen sold this four-masted barque to the shipping company Norddeutscher Lloyd. The new shipowner equipped the vessel with cabins for 70 cadets and began to use it both as a cargo and training ship. The barque was given a new name - "Kommondor Jensen".

After the defeat of fascist Germany and the end of the Second World War, in accordance with the decisions of the Potsdam Conference, the division of the military and auxiliary German fleets was carried out between the allies. The Soviet Union, in compensation for the sailing ships lost during the war, received, in particular, the Commodore Jensen ship, renamed in honor of the famous Russian polar explorer Georgy Yakovlevich Sedov (1877 - 1914).

On January 11, 1946, the Sedov sailboat was handed over to the Soviet Navy as a training ship. He made his first sea voyage in this quality in 1952.
Since 1957, "Sedov", remaining in the class of a training vessel, began to perform the functions of an oceanographic vessel. In the course of these studies, the crew and the team of scientists, by joint efforts, erased many "blank spots" from the map of the Atlantic Ocean.

In 1965, the ship was transferred to the jurisdiction of the USSR Ministry of Fisheries for the purpose of training the personnel of the fishing fleet. Riga became Sedov's home port. In the early 70s, the barque was going through difficult times and almost died. In anticipation of a long overdue repair, the ship stood in Leningrad for almost four years and waited for the decision of its fate. The new owners essentially planned to scrap the barque, proving the futility of the idea of ​​updating the training vessel. But more than 100 famous sailors and heads of maritime schools came to the defense of the veteran. At different times, each of them lived the same life with the Sedov, sharing the difficulties and romance of sailing together. The initiative of the sailors was heard and the ship was sent for repairs to Kronstadt, where, over the course of six years of reconstruction, the old 500-horsepower engine was replaced with a new one, with a capacity of 1180 hp, electronic navigation equipment was supplied and places for 164 students were equipped. The ship was put back into service in 1981.
The Sedov made its first voyage, now as the flagship of the training fleet of the USSR Ministry of Fisheries, to Denmark, where at that time the 300th anniversary of the birth of the Dane Vitus Jonassen Bering was celebrated.

In 1983, for the first time during its stay in the Soviet Union, the ship visited its native port of Bremerhavn, where our sailors invited former members of the German crews of the sailing ship, including one of its first owners, on board.

In 1984, the Sedov made a voyage dedicated to the 400th anniversary of the founding of the city of Arkhangelsk. The flight, which began in the Baltic, passed around Scandinavia. In July, the sailboat arrived in Arkhangelsk, where the holiday began.

During this voyage, declared a voyage of peace, visitors to the Soviet barque "Sedov" signed on the Sail of Peace. There was also the signature of the Danish cartoonist Herluf Bidstrup.

In 1986, the Sedov took part in its first international races and since then has become a frequent participant in them, including the 1992 Columbus Regatta. Since 1989, in addition to domestic cadets, the ship has also accepted foreign adventurers for training.

In April 1991, in connection with Latvia's independence, Russia transferred the ship from Riga to Murmansk and transferred it to the Murmansk State Technical University.
"Sedov" - a four-masted barque, is the largest sailing ship in the world of traditional construction and the second largest after the 5-masted Royal Clipper. UPS "Sedov" is listed in the "Guinness Book of Records" as the largest of the sailing ships that have survived to this day.

Despite its venerable age, the sailboat continues to participate in regattas.

Training sailing ship "Mir" (training frigate)

Training sailing ship "Mir" was built in 1987 in Poland at the Gdansk shipyard. As one of the five training sailing ships of this type. December 1, 1987 - the flag of the Soviet Union was raised on the stern flagpole of the "Mir" and then the ship arrived at its home port - Leningrad. State Academy. adm. S.O. Makarova (at that time the Leningrad Higher Marine Engineering School) became its shipowner. The first captain was V.N. Antonov.
From 1989 to 1991, the ship belonged to the Baltic Shipping Company, then the Academy again became the owner of the ship.

From the very beginning, the ship was designed and built as a training ship, intended for swimming practice for cadets of the navigation faculty and taking part in sailing ship races.

At different times, from 70 to 140 cadets not only of the State Marine Academy, but also of other maritime educational institutions of the former Soviet Union, as well as England and the USA, practiced on board the ship.

"Mir" actively participates in the races of sailing ships. A significant event was the participation of "Mir" in the international grand regatta "Columbus-92", dedicated to the 500th anniversary of the discovery of America by Christopher Columbus. "Mir" came to the finish line of this race as an absolute winner. The prize was presented to the crew by King Juan Carlos I of Spain.

"Mir" took part in the transatlantic regatta "Tall Ships 2000". "Mir" is the only class "A" ship that won the main prize of this race twice in a row (2003 and 2004).

The training sailing ship "Mir" is the current symbol of the maritime St. Petersburg, the bearer of the idea of ​​​​international cooperation between port cities, a kind of ambassador of St. Petersburg in foreign countries.

According to the practice developed in recent years, Mir operates in the area of ​​the Baltic and North Seas from April to October, visiting from 15 to 20 ports during the season. Cadets of the State Maritime Academy and other maritime educational institutions practice on the ship.

The history of the Russian fleet knows several sailing ships with the name "Nadezhda". The modern frigate "Nadezhda" is a continuation of the life of sailing ships that have left a good memory of themselves: as the first training sailing ship in Russia, as the first Russian ship to circumnavigate the world, as a ship whose name is given to straits, capes, an island. In the history of the fleet, there are few ships with such a rich history, ships that have served their Fatherland so regularly, leaving their mark both in military affairs and in science.

On account of the sailboat - dozens of expeditions and voyages to different latitudes. Each sea voyage is a difficult test both for the ship itself, and for its crew, and for the cadets who pass their sixth “floating” semester on the high seas. During long trips, cadets not only perform all ship work, participate in all-hands work, stand watch on the bridge, but also study. There are several basic subjects studied on the voyage. According to the captain of the frigate, it is important for the cadets to develop an understanding of the real scale of the World Ocean. For example, during the "round the world" with the participation of cadets, laser and acoustic sounding of the sea mass was continuously carried out, water samples were taken from various depths with their subsequent analysis. Laser sounding of the atmosphere was regularly carried out, for which there is a unique Lidar installation on board the sailboat.

Currently, the frigate continues the glorious traditions of its predecessors and is used as a sailing training and research vessel.

Training sailing ship "Pallada" (training frigate)

"Pallada" is a three-masted training ship belonging to the Far Eastern State Technical Fisheries University (Vladivostok).

Named after the frigate "Pallada" of the Russian navy, which in 1852-1855 made a voyage from Kronstadt to the shores of Japan with the diplomatic mission of Vice Admiral E.V. Putyatin. This three-masted ship was built according to the prototype of sailing ships of the early 20th century; has a full armament of the "frigate" type. Two motors driven by one controllable pitch propeller are used for sailing in stormy conditions, as well as when entering and leaving the port. The controllable pitch screw can be moved to the so-called "vane position" to reduce drag when sailing.

The frigate "Pallada" set the official speed record of 18.7 knots for class "A" sailing ships. However, during the 2007-2008 circumnavigation, the Pallada set a new record of 18.8 knots. This record was recorded in the logbook, and also filmed on video, but not officially issued.

Currently, the frigate is used as a sailing training and research vessel.

Training sailing ship "Khersones" (training frigate)

"Khersones" is a three-masted training ship (a ship with full sailing equipment) belonging to the Kerch State Marine Technological University (port of registry - Kerch).

Built in Poland at the Gdansk shipyard named after Lenin in 1989. The first name is "Alexander Grin", but at the end of the construction, due to political and religious considerations, in honor of the 1000th anniversary of the baptism of Rus', it was named "Chersonesos".

From 1991 to 2006, on a lease basis, it was operated by the Inmaris travel company as a cruise ship. Since 2006, due to a financial dispute between the lessee and the shipowner, the operation has been discontinued, the vessel is laid up in the port of Kerch. Since 2006, the ship has not gone to sea.

Currently, the frigate is the flagship of the training fleet of the Kerch State Marine Technological University. Although there is a dispute between the Federal Agency for Fishery and the Ministry of Transport of Russia for the right to own the vessel. But on October 9, 2015, Khersones arrived at the Sevastopol branch of Zvezdochka for repairs. As of December 10, 2015, the frigate was docked for repairs.

Two-masted motor-sailing schooner "Nadezhda"

There is a legend that the schooner, later known as “Nadezhda”, is the “Sterna” (“Stern”) yacht of Felix Graf von Luckner, the national hero of Germany during the First World War.

"Sterna" was built in 1912 in Leiderdorp (Netherlands) at the shipyard of Gebrouders as a steel sail logger for fishing. When built in 1912, the schooner was equipped with a two-stroke two-cylinder engine manufactured by Deutsche Werke (Deutsche Werke) with a capacity of 70 hp. With.

On August 2, 1927, the schooner was sold to Bernhard Heinecke from Hamburg, who converted her into a universal cargo ship and renamed her "Edelgard" ("Edelgard").

On July 3, 1936, the schooner was sold to Count Felix von Luckner. Luckner rebuilt the schooner, changing the bow, installed a new 140-horsepower main engine and converted it into a comfortable seaworthy yacht. The schooner received a new name "Seeteufel" ("Seeteufel" - German "Sea Devil"). Under this name and under the command of von Luckner, from April 18, 1937 to July 19, 1939, the schooner circumnavigated the world along the route.
The crew of the ship consisted of scouts and cartographers. Under the guise of a round-the-world trip, the main goal was to collect information about the ports of a potential enemy before the start of the war. The voyage was prepared by the propaganda and naval intelligence services of fascist Germany.

In 1943, the schooner was acquired by the outstanding sea diver Hans Haas for the institute he was creating for marine research. The schooner was to become an expedition ship and a base for underwater filming and photography. However, it turned out to be impossible to transfer the schooner from Stettin, where she was at that time.

On February 12, 1947, the schooner was transferred as a trophy to the Naval Order of Lenin Academy. K. E. Voroshilova. The schooner was named "Hope" and, together with another schooner "Study", was included in the detachment of training ships of the Leningrad Naval Preparatory School. On June 14, 1948, the schooner was transferred to the Leningrad Nakhimov Naval School. On July 24, 1956, the schooner was transferred to the yacht club of the Leningrad Naval Base. In 1958, the schooner was renamed PKZ-134.

On June 18, 1958, she was expelled from the USSR Navy and donated to the Central Yacht Club of the All-Union Central Council of Trade Unions, receiving the name "Leningrad" and becoming the flagship of the yacht club. In 1962, the schooner was overhauled and re-equipped at the Almaz plant. A 3D12 diesel engine (300 hp) was installed as the main one, a poop and a new wheelhouse appeared, significantly changing the silhouette of the schooner.
On the schooner, cadets of naval schools, students of the Children's and Youth Sports School, and students of oceanography practiced. The schooner repeatedly participated in the filming of Soviet, Russian and foreign filmmakers, playing the roles of both frigates and Pomeranian schooners.

From 1970 to 1979, the schooner was the main participant in the city holidays of the Scarlet Sails graduates. After the city of Leningrad became St. Petersburg, in 1993 the former name "Hope" was returned to the schooner. Due to financial difficulties and poor technical condition since 2005, the schooner was practically not operated.

In 2009-2010, at the Rechnaya shipyard in St. Petersburg, work was carried out to repair the hull of the schooner, replanned the lower rooms, changed the architecture of the hull above the main deck, replaced the standing and running rigging, sewed new sails, moved the main engine, installed two new diesel generator, new radio navigation equipment.

Since 2014 - the Fund for Support, Reconstruction and Revival of Historic Ships and Classic Yachts of the St. Petersburg Yacht Club.

In 2004, the Felix von Luckner Society was founded in Halle. One of the goals of this society is "the repatriation of the Seeteufel schooner to Germany."

Sailing training vessel "Young Baltiets"

The training sailing vessel "Young Baltiets" was laid down on February 4, 1988 at the Baltiysky Zavod im. S. Ordzhonikidze in the city of Leningrad. On June 2, 1989, the state flag of the USSR was raised on the ship.

The first independent exit from the berth of the plant in May 1989. The crew of the ship is 52 people, including 32 trainees, cabin boys aged 12 to 18 years. In the summer of 1990, the sailboat visited German ports: Kiel, Travemünde, Bremerhaven. After these visits, invitations began to come to participate in sailing holidays held in Germany. In 1993, in the Cutty Sark race at the first stage in group A, the ship took sixth place after well-known sailboats like Mir, Kruzernshtern and Sedov. Abroad, they began to show interest in the sailboat, because it turned out to be the only sailboat on which schoolchildren are practicing. Over the years, "Young Baltiets" has received many invitations from both Europe and America, and visited many European ports.

The current copy of the historical frigate Shtandart.

Shtandart is a copy of the Shtandart frigate of the time of Peter the Great, built by the non-governmental non-profit organization Project Shtandart.

In 1994, Vladimir Martus, with an initiative group, took up the construction of a historical replica of the ship. On September 4, 1999, the Shtandart was solemnly launched at the Petrovsky Admiralty shipyard. The frigate is used by the non-governmental non-profit organization Project Shtandart.

The crew of the "Standard" is made up of volunteers, trained and prepared before the start of each voyage. In June 2000, the Shtandart set off on its maiden voyage along the route of the Great Embassy - to those cities and countries that Peter I visited while studying ship craft. At the beginning of 2012, the Shtandart frigate made twelve voyages across Europe, visiting 54 ports in 12 European countries. In 2009, Shtandart passed from St. Petersburg to the Norwegian port of Kirkenes, rounding the North Cape. From 2005 to 2009, he repeatedly entered the waters of the Neva to participate in the Scarlet Sails festival. Shtandart takes an active part in international marine regattas, festivals, filming.

But in June 2009, the Shtandart was presented to the inspectors of the Russian River Register. During the dock inspection, the registry inspectors identified a number of “significant” non-compliances with the requirements. On June 18, 2009, in order to restore the vessel on the classification register, the Russian River Register presented the shipowner with a requirement to eliminate all non-compliances with the Register rules before going on a voyage.

The shipowner, the non-commercial partnership Project Shtandart, considering the presented requirements to be impossible in principle, taking into account the historical design of the ship, decided to stop the operation of the ship in the waters of the Russian Federation until the issues of Russian legislation on historical and traditional ships are settled.

Since 2009, Shtandart has been carrying out educational and training voyages in the waters of European countries. The vessel has been tested for compliance with the safety standards of the German maritime administration BG Verkehr, has a certificate from the Dutch Register of Historical and Sailing Vessels Register Holland. On June 15, 2010, Shtandart applied to the Russian Maritime Register with a request to conduct a survey of the vessel as a sports sailing vessel according to the newly approved rules. But consideration of documents is not completed. Shtandart is forced to remain outside the territorial waters of the Russian Federation.

The Shtandart is currently being used for the filming of the film Set Michiel De Ruyter.

The current copy of the historic battleship "Goto Predestination" ("God's foresight")

Historical copy of the Russian battleship "Goto Predestination" of the times of Peter the Great, built in 2011-2014. The ship is moored at Admiralteiskaya Square in Voronezh and is a museum ship.

In early 2010, we began to create drawings based on archival documents. The work on the creation of the project was complicated by the fact that most of the documents related to the construction of the battleship were not preserved. When creating a replica of the ship, notes from the state archive were used, as well as paintings and engravings of the 18th century, and the design of the ship was based on a watercolor by Peter Bergman.

On June 15, 2011, the foundation board of the future sailboat was solemnly installed at the Pavlovsk Shipyard. The wooden part of the ship was recreated from a watercolor by Peter Bergman painted in 1700. According to Alexander Tikhomirov, designer of the superstructure, the same materials were used for its construction, from which the original ship was built: pine and oak, and at least 100 years old.

On July 21, 2013, the lower part of the ship from Pavlovsk, with the help of 2 tugs along the Don and Voronezh rivers, went to the Voronezh reservoir to Petrovsky Island, where it was moored on July 25. The next day, the ship was moored to Petrovskaya embankment. of the future ship In mid-September, the installation of the superstructure began. At the end of December 2013, the ship was transferred to Admiralteyskaya Square.

In January 2014, the arrangement of the coastal parking for the ship began. In April, all the ship's masts were installed. July 2, 2014 the ship went on its first voyage for sea trials.

July 27, 2014, on the day of the Navy, the ship "Goto Predestination" was inaugurated near the Admiralteyskaya Square in the city of Voronezh. The Andreevsky flag was raised on the ship. After that, the ship went on its first voyage, in which the workers of the Pavlovsk Shipyard, who built the ship, took part. During the departure, a volley was fired from the ship's cannons. The ship made a circle of honor and moored back to the pier at Admiralteyskaya Square. About 40 people worked on the ship in total. It took a little more than 3 years to create the ship from the moment of laying, while the original was built in the time of Peter the Great a little less than 1.5 years.
In addition to the existing existing copies of historical ships, there was another copy. A copy of the frigate "Holy Spirit".

A working copy of the historical Frigate "Holy Spirit"
The Polar Odyssey club and the Karelia-TAMP firm were recreated in 1992 at the Avangard shipyard.

According to historical fact, during the years of the Northern Russian-Swedish War of 1700-1721, two small frigates "Courier" and "Holy Spirit" in August 1702 were dragged along the "Sovereign" road 170 miles long through the Karelian forests and swamps. The movement of ships and troops overland from the White Sea to Lake Onega was part of a military-strategic operation to capture the Noteburg fortress at the source of the Neva.

The remake of the ship had the approximate dimensions of its historical prototype, carried 6 bronze cannons on board. But unlike the ships of the 17th century, the frigate was equipped with a 90-horsepower diesel engine.

The main technical data of the remake:
maximum length - 26.8 m
length according to design waterline - 17 m
width - 5.2 m
draft - 2.5 m
displacement - 90 t
sail area - 280 sq. m

In 1992 "Holy Spirit" took part in the festival of wooden boats in the city of Kotka (Finland) and on the Alan Islands.
In the same year, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation determined the status of the ship as a military-historical vessel of the Russian fleet and issued a certificate to the frigate for the right to raise the Andreevsky flag.

In 1993, the flagship of the Russian historical fleet "Holy Spirit" was recognized as the best ship of the naval parade in St. Petersburg.

In 1994, the frigate takes part in the first international festival of sailing ships in Karelia "Blue Onego-94".

But on October 20, 1994, the frigate "Holy Spirit" sank off the coast of Holland during a strong storm in the North Sea on its way to the festival in the city of Amsterdam.

Also, at the moment, the shipyard of the historical shipbuilding "Poltava" is engaged in the reconstruction of the first large battleship of the Baltic Fleet, launched in the St. Petersburg Admiralty in 1712 - "Poltava".
The construction of the original battleship of the 4th rank "Poltava" began in 1709 and ended in 1712, the construction lasted 3 years. Peter the Great took part in the design of the ship, and Fedosey Sklyaev supervised the construction.

A full-size replica of the ship "Poltava" was conceived in 2013, launching is planned for 2016.

In the summer of 2013, the midsection frame was laid, and the production of keel pieces and other frames began. The process was complicated by difficult weather conditions, it became clear that it was necessary to build a large hangar for the future ship. In early 2014, the hangar was completed and work accelerated. Soon the keel was laid, the first frames were installed. The set of the ship's hull and carved decorations are made of oak, the spars of the ship are made of pine, and the lining is planned to be made of larch. 54 cannons that will be installed on the ship "Poltava" are cast at the factory from cast iron according to the regulations of 1715.

The shipyard already employs more than 130 professionals with experience gained during the construction of the Shtandart frigate or at the Poltava shipyard.

On May 1, 2014, the shipyard solemnly opened its doors to visitors, it became possible to go on excursions and see how a real sailing ship of the Peter the Great era was being built. Today, the shipyard hosts daily tours, workshops and events on weekends.

The story about sailboats that plow the expanses of the seas and oceans under the flag of Russia should begin with the oldest Russian four-masted barque Sedov. This sailboat was built in Germany at a shipyard in the city of Kiel and launched on February 14, 1921. At the time of its birth, it was named "Magdalena Winnen 11". During the Second World War, he was part of the auxiliary fleet of Nazi Germany and transported military cargo. By decision of the Potsdam Conference on Reparations in December 1945, the barque was transferred to the Soviet Union and received a new name in memory of Russian hydrographer and polar explorer Georgy Yakovlevich Sedov. During the service as a training ship on the Sedov barge, more than one generation of Russian sailors passed the shipboard practice. And at present, the handsome bark, which is the largest training sailboat in the world (displacement 7320 tons), plows the seas and oceans of the planet.

The second oldest among Russian sailing ships is the four-masted barque Kruzenshtern. It was built at a shipyard in the city of Wesermünde (now Bremerhaven) in Germany and launched in 1926. Before the war, she was used as a cargo ship, her holds took up to 4 thousand tons of coal. In 1946, like the Sedov barque, it was transferred to the Soviet Union and renamed in honor of Russian navigator and admiral Ivan Fedorovich Kruzenshtern, leader of the first Russian round-the-world expedition.

A special place among the Russian sailing ships of the post-war period is occupied by the barque "Tovarishch". In 1933, the three-masted Gorch Fok training barque was built at the Hamburg shipyard by order of the German Imperial Navy. The sailboat proved to be reliable, stable and manoeuvrable. Gorch Fok became the model for a whole series of six German sailboats built between 1936 and 1958. Starting from 1934, the above-named barque was used for training purposes, making trips in the Atlantic, the North and Baltic Seas. After the outbreak of World War II, Gorch Fock and its sister cities served as offices and barracks in German ports. At the end of the war, the sailboat was towed to the island of Rügen, where on April 30, 1945, by order of the German command, it was blown up and sank. By decision of the Potsdam Conference on Reparations, among other ships, the Gorch Fok sailing ship was transferred to the Soviet Union. In 1947, the ship was raised from the bottom of the sea and was overhauled in 4 years. While still in Germany for a major overhaul, the sailboat received a bell with the name "Comrade", which the ship inherited from the first training sailboat on the Black Sea, which died during the Great Patriotic War in the port of Mariupol.

In 1950, the barque "Tovarishch" came to the port of Liepaja in Latvia, and on July 8, 1951, the ship set out on its first voyage under the Soviet flag. His path lay to the shores of the Black Sea, where the sailboat began to serve as a training ship for the passage of ship practice for cadets of the nautical schools of Odessa and Kherson. During its service under the flag of the USSR, the barque "Tovarishch" repeatedly made long trips, paid official visits to other states, participated in sailing regattas and won. More than 500 thousand miles and ports of 86 countries were left behind the stern of the barque. The ship has played several "roles" in films. He starred in the films "Maximka", "Scarlet Sails", "Treasure Island", "Captain Nemo", "Prisoner of If Castle".

But soon the sailboat was not up to the cinema. After the collapse of the Soviet Union and the division of the Black Sea Fleet, Tovarishch became the property of the Ministry of Education of Ukraine. Having served until 1995 under the flag of Ukraine, the barque was sent to England for a major overhaul, where it stood for three years. Ukraine did not have the $3 million required for repairs. At the suggestion of the German "Organization of Friends of the Sailing Fleet", the sailboat was towed from England to the German port of Wilhelmhafen, where it took part in the international exhibition "Expo-2000". In 2003, the logical finale came: the ship was sold for 500 thousand euros to the same “Organization of Friends of the Sailing Fleet”. Currently, Gorkh Fok 1 (as the former Comrade is now called) is used as a museum ship for banquets and other ceremonies. This story reverberates with pain in the hearts of veteran sailors who have passed ship practice on the "Comrade" or served on it.

Of the other sailing ships similar to Tovarishch, three remained in service: the American barque Eagle (formerly Horst Wessel), received under reparation, the Romanian Mircea, built by order of Bucharest in 1939, and the German Gorch Fok 11 ", the last of this series, launched in 1958.

Years passed, and the need for training sailing ships increased. Veterans of "Sedov", "Kruzenshtern" and "Tovarishch" could no longer provide practice for cadets of maritime universities in a rapidly developing country.

On August 12, 1981, a training sailing ship was launched in the Polish People's Republic (often ships of this series are called frigates). The sailboat was built at the Gdansk shipyard named after Lenin with funds raised by Polish youth for the Naval Academy in the city of Gdynia. The frigate "Gift of Youth" participated in many regattas and repeatedly won victories among the sailing ships of the world. Currently, the veteran of the Polish Navy is in eternal parking as a memorial ship.

This sailboat became a model for a series of training sailing frigates built for the Soviet Union in the nineties of the last century. All ships were built at the Gdansk shipyard under the guidance of designer Sigmund Horen. The series consisted of five sailboats: Druzhba, Mir, Khersones, Pallada and Nadezhda. The fate of these beautiful training sailboats in the post-Soviet space is different. When the Black Sea Fleet was divided, the frigates "Druzhba" and "Khersones" went to Ukraine. In 1992, Druzhba was transferred to the Italian port of Messina, where she was converted into a cruise yacht. Since the beginning of the 21st century, the handsome sailboat has been laid up in the port of Odessa and used for the practice of junior cadets.

The fate of "Chersonesos" is more tragic. After the division of the fleet until 2006, on a lease basis, the frigate was used as a cruise ship. Since 2006, due to a financial dispute between the lessee and the shipowner, the ship has been laid up in the port of Kerch. Over the years, the sailboat has lost its former elegant appearance, the metal parts have rusted, many interior items have been stolen. After the annexation of Crimea to Russia, the hope dawned that the Khersones, owned by the Kerch Marine Technological University, would be restored and again set sail above its red-golden hull.

Frigate "Khersonesos".

On June 28, 1712, in the presence of Peter I, the first Russian battleship was launched. We recall 7 legendary domestic sailing ships that made a name for the Russian fleet.

Galiot "Eagle"

In 1668, by decree of Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich, Russian shipbuilders built the first large combat sailing ship, the Eagle galliot, on the Oka River. The length of the "large" vessel is 24.5 m, the width is 6.5 m. The crew is 22 sailors and 35 archers. This two-deck ship carried three masts and was armed with 22 squeakers. Oryol was the first purely sailing warship built in Russia. On the fore and main masts of the Eagle, straight sails were installed, and on the mizzen mast - oblique. Here are the lines from the decree of Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich on this ship: “The ship, which was made in the village of Dedinovo, should be given the nickname “Eagle”. Put an eagle on the bow and stern and sew eagles on the banners. When the "Eagle" was ready, wooden carved double-headed eagles, painted in gold, were strengthened on its stern and bow. These heraldic symbols of royal power were a kind of confirmation of the name of the ship, and then became the traditional decoration of all military ships.

Yacht "Saint Peter"

"St. Peter" is the first Russian warship that carried the Russian flag in foreign waters. The yacht of Peter I was built in Arkhangelsk according to the Dutch model in 1693. This small sailboat had one mast with straight and slanting sails and was armed with 12 guns. For the first time, Peter I went out on it to the open sea to accompany the Dutch and English merchant ships leaving Arkhangelsk and reached the eastern shores of the Kola Peninsula with them. In May of the following year, 1694, he again comes to Arkhangelsk and sails to the Solovetsky Islands, and then accompanies another caravan of merchant ships leaving Arkhangelsk to Cape Svyatoy Nos, in other words, to the ocean. Having served thirty years of maritime service, the yacht became the first museum object in Arkhangelsk.

Galley "Principium"

In 1696, this ship was the first to enter the Sea of ​​Azov, and in June, as part of the Russian fleet, it participated in the siege of the Turkish fortress of Azov. It was built at the beginning of 1696 in Voronezh according to the Dutch model. Length - 38, width - 6 meters, height from keel to deck - about 4 m. 34 pairs of oars were set in motion. Crew size - up to 170 people. She was armed with 6 guns. According to the Principium type, with only some changes, another 22 ships were built to participate in the Azov campaign of Peter I. the prototype of the "Naval Charter", which stipulated day and night signals, as well as indications in case of a battle. At the end of hostilities near Azov, the galley was disarmed and placed on the Don near the fortress, where it was subsequently dismantled for firewood due to dilapidation.

Frigate "Fortress"

"Fortress" - the first Russian warship that entered Constantinople. Built at the Panshin shipyard in 1699, not far from the mouth of the Don. Length - 37.8, width - 7.3 meters, crew - 106 people, armament - 46 guns. In the summer of 1699, the "Fortress" under the command of Captain Pamburg delivered an embassy mission to Constantinople, headed by Duma councilor Em. Ukrainians. The appearance of a Russian warship near the walls of the Turkish capital forced the Turkish Sultan to reconsider his attitude towards Russia. A peace treaty was quickly concluded between Turkey and Russia. The frigate, moreover, for the first time entered the waters of the Black Sea, which allowed Russian sailors to make hydrographic measurements of the Kerch Strait and Balaklava Bay (also for the first time!). At the same time, the first plans for the Crimean coast were drawn up.

Battleship "Poltava"

"Poltava" is the first battleship of the Russian fleet, and the first - built in St. Petersburg. The construction of "Poltava", named after the outstanding victory over the Swedes near Poltava, was led by Peter I. Length - 34.6 width - 11.7, was armed with 54 guns of 18, 12 and 6-pounder calibers. After commissioning in 1712, this ship participated in all campaigns of the Russian Baltic ship fleet during the Great Northern War, and in May 1713, covering the actions of the galley fleet to capture Helsingfors, it was the flagship of Peter 1.

Battleship "Pobedonosets"

"Pobedonosets" is the first ship of the 66-gun rank, with improved combat and seaworthiness. The best ship of its time, built after the death of Peter I. Assembled according to the drawings and under the direct supervision of one of the most talented Russian shipbuilders A. Katasonov. Length along the lower deck - 160 feet; width - 44.6 feet. The armament consisted of twenty-six 30-pounders, twenty-six 12-pounders and fourteen 6-pounders. Launched in 1780. He was one of the few Russian long-lived ships. Served 27 years.

Sloop "Mirny"

The ship of the First Russian Antarctic round-the-world expedition of 1819-1821, which discovered Antarctica. "Mirny" is a rebuilt auxiliary vessel.
