On May 18, PROyachting celebrated the official start of the new sailing season in Moscow with a spectacular regatta on the waters of the Khimki Reservoir. The event featured modern J/70 sports yachts and brought together 24 teams to compete.

The top spot was claimed by the crew of Intersen Plus, a regular participant in evening regattas. Alongside seasoned sailors, the event also welcomed newcomers, who were guided by professional skipper-instructors as they navigated the course. 



After the regatta, a ceremony was held to honour the winners and finalists of the 2024 evening regatta season and the 2024/25 winter series. 



Awards were also presented to the best teams from the 2024/25 winter series held on the Black Sea.

• The Sochi Winter Cup was won by the crew of #enJoinSailing, which participated in every stage of the series and never finished below second place. 
• In the beginner helmsman series, Winter Fun Race, the championship trophy was claimed by SELF. This team fought hard from the very first stage, winning three gold medals over the season. 
• In the PROyachting Winter Challenge series for experienced sailors, the strongest team was Russo Trans, which finished the season with three golds and two silvers.

“We have big plans for the new season,” said PROyachting founder Ekaterina Skudina, a world and European champion and honoured master of sports. “In St. Petersburg, we’ve launched several summer series for both amateurs and professionals. Additionally, we’ve organised weekend regattas at the Gals Yacht Club near Moscow. I’m confident that the upcoming season will be even more exciting and eventful.”
