No lies, no deception. In
Europe we are. In the large
European family, we were out for
several decades for various
geopolitical reasons. How and
whether Europe will put an imprint
on the lives of ordinary people is
another matter. But the fact is
that We will, not we must start
thinking and working in Europe. As
they do in highly developed
countries with high living
standard. We have told him
repeatedly, it will repeat again.
Cross Bulgaria in the European
Union with two attractive people -
culture and sport. These two
persons to any upheaval experienced
in the years of so. transition
presented worthy Bulgaria to Europe
and the world. In this sense, 2006
was a particularly fruitful for the
sailors. Those knights of fans who
have repeatedly query leads that
all sailors from around the world
are one big family. When you say we
have reason to believe them.
Relations in this family are tested
in trials. And over
time.
Here we should note that
the native sailing leaving behind a
successful year. Let the experts
analyze what and how it happened.
But the fact is that in 2006 a
native sailing calendar was far
more intense than in previous
years. The fact is that the
emergence of new clubs. Some of
them went from scratch, others were
given a forgotten tradition. In
these centers began to work with
young people. With the smallest
that has yet to feel the thrill and
magic of this sport. In other clubs
pulled up cruising sailing.
Bulgarian Federation is doing
everything possible things to go
well - and securing the internal
calendar, and training with courses
and seminars, and funding
participation in international
regattas. In this sense, the fact
that representatives of the sailing
sport found place in prestigious
annual rankings, is quite
reasonable. Nicolas Dukov sailor
from club "Pontos" (Vn) of the 10
best athletes in Varna in 2006 on
his yacht crew, "Peter" did receive
the annual award for best
individual sports team in Varna.
Another competitor in sailing -
Alexander Lazarov on "Black Sea -
Breeze" was nominated in ten
honorary association of sports
clubs "Black Sea" ...
Yacht "Petra"
professionalism demonstrated during
the World Cup
races.
Certainly sport peak
native sailing for the year is the
success of the yacht "Petra"
(skipper Nicolas Dukov) World
Championship in Cyprus. In
September last year "Peter" took
fourth place in the overall
standings and first place trophy
for the world amateur championship
for keel yachts in the IMS class
600 in Greece. Success,
unprecedented in the history of the
sport in this country, bring the
crew prestigious annual Golden
Globe Award "Cor Caroli". The prize
is awarded for the best Bulgarian
sea sailing achievement of the "Cor
Caroli". At the end of September
last year yacht "Peter" took first
place in the national championship
for keel yachts in "Marina Dinevi -
St. Vlas." The crew won the race in
Class F (keel yachts, open class -
over 29 feet) and was named team in
September of Varna in the
traditional monthly ranking of
sports journalists.
Here is the place to say
that the success of "Pontos" is not
accidental. Young Varna sailing
club failed in a short time after
birth to lay the foundations of
modern thinking in yachting. To
work with a clear vision and
purposeful policy to follow. The
club is only 3 years and now has 3
and 4 keel yachts boats for the
kids in class
"optimistic."
The application of the
yacht "Petra" Golden Globe beat
competition from two major
nominations.One was a young
surfer from Veselin Nanev BK
"Pomorie". Talent won the gold
medal at the European championship
in class "Formula windsurfing" in
Portimao (Portugal) and a fifth
place in the world for young people
in the same class of Ostend
(Belgium). The third nomination was
for the yacht "Dorida" Rumen
Lukanov with skipper and six crew
members - for participating in the
regatta "Odisseyl 2006" and ranking
first in Class 2 and ORC first
class throughout the ORC
Club.
Ceremony was the prize on
20 December at Grand Hotel "Varna".
The date is not chosen randomly, it
is emblematic of sailing home. On
December 20 in 1976 and Captain
Georgi Georgiev started his
world-round trip, which ends
exactly one year later. In this
2007 and '30 will celebrate the
journey under sail Captain
Georgiev, a long time and keep the
world record for "Guinness" With
this cruise. Not only because of
the anniversary, but we must
celebrate the feat of Captain in
the name of historical memory. That
which sustains each nation its
thorny path of progress
...
Participants in the IMS
World Championship 600 ride in
heavy weather.
Kapitan Georgi Georgiev
(1930 - 1980) is the first
Bulgarian to circumnavigate the
earth alone by yacht. After
successful participation in the
transatlantic regatta the older 76
December 20 1976 he set sail from
Havana with 9-foot yacht "Cor
Caroli". On December 20, 1977
arrived in Havana, closing the
circle around the Earth. In Book of
Records "Guinness" for 1981 - 1982,
his voyage of 201 days, 21 hours
and 36 minutes is included as the
best long achievement in the world
during a tour of the hull yacht,
regardless of its size and route of
voyage. Creator of the Golden Globe
award is Prof. Boris Ganchev. In
2005 he gave an official honorary
presidency in the "Cor Caroli".
Torch 95-year-old Dean took his
granddaughter Carolina Georgieva,
who is the committee to broadcast
media the trophy each
year.
Here's what you remember
the doyen of establishment of the
award: "Cor
Caroli (Heart of Charles) is the
Latin name for the brightest star
in the constellation of hunting
dogs. Discovered by the English
astronomer Edmond Halley and was
named after English King Charles II
(1630-1685 ). It was named after
the yacht, which Captain Georgi
Georgiev participate in the regatta
of lonely sailors from England to
America in 1976 ... On May 14, 1980
morning my daughter informed me of
the sudden death of the captain the
day before. Shock! Then from my
subconscious emerged long secret
idea.'ll do anything for Bob. While
he was alive, I could not. I will
create the award live on eternal
memory of the deceased. This kind
of be the first monument of the
famous Bulgarian sailor and an
example for his followers. With
friends, his fans, who with advice,
with which cases started. Nabavih
flat brass plate. mazgalen A lathe
is worked out two
hemispheres.
The founder of the Golden
Globe Boris
Ganchev
But when we put them to
form a ball, get a melon! I made
??a drawing of exactly hemisphere.
Carpenter developed a pattern
lathe, which I took to mazgalniya
turner. Nabavih new sheet metal and
then we get this as I waited. Both
hemispheres, welded together,
forming a ball. Himigraf him a
model of the Globe school, painted
the outlines of continents and the
path of "Cor Caroli" around the
Earth. Earth globe with a trace of
the boat was ready in the oceans. I
wanted to be plated. But I found no
one to do it. Then - gold. But in
Varna goldsmith workshop only had a
small glass cup of gold rings and
earrings. But a Globe 160 mm in
diameter had to go to Sofia. There
in the "industry Zlatarska" I came
across two very polite and
conscientious women. They should
thank you for the gold plating of
the globe. I was told - will last
five or six years and the procedure
will be repeated. It's been many
years now, and gilded their stands.
So perhaps contribute to the glass
lid, which covers continuous plated
ball ... The Golden Globe is
ready.What now? In those
years an individual in Bulgaria can
not award prizes. I go to the
director of "Water transport" and
want to support the award is given
by a higher, nadklubna instance, as
the Ministry of Transport, or at
least "Water transport". But he
said: "The place of the globe in
the name of the yacht club
captain." ... The first prize
winner was Nicholas Dzhambazov he
decided - the second Bulgarian
involved in the OSTAR in 1980 as
well as other trips there. But Coco
was about. He returned to Bulgaria
in March-April 1981, a date of
December 20 proektotraditsionnata
would be honored the most
outstanding sailing for 1981 it
was. On August 7, 1981 Golden Globe
Award was presented for the first
time Nicholas Dzhambazov for 1980
... "
In the course of thought
about the awards can not overlook
the initiative that the leadership
of the Bulgarian Sailing Federation
realized for the second consecutive
year. This time host of the
ceremony, which honor the most
outstanding athletes of the year
was the sea capital Varna. Board of
the Federation does engage
nominations to become traditional,
and winners of prizes to be elected
in a transparent manner to ensure
fairness in the assessment of
athletic performance. However this
is already happening
...
The crew of the yacht
"Petra" new challenges expected in
2007
The stylish ceremony at
the Palace of Culture and Sport met
athletes, coaches, actors and fans
of sailing sport across the
country. Arrived for the
celebration of the president and
head Stanislav Kasarov whole Board.
Good impression, the fact that
among the winners were not
forgotten actors - men who for
years have indulged in strength and
knowledge for development and
promotion of sailing. With honorary
plaques were awarded Penko Zhekov
Atanas Gospodinov, Petar Dimitrov,
Bojinov and Michael Asen
Dremdzhiev.
№ 1 for sailor men
expected was elected Nicolas Dukov.
When women won the prize surfer KS
"Lazur" (Varna) Irina Konstantinova
(12th place in the Olympic test in
China in Class RS: X). The award
for best young sailor to 19 years
in youth took Veselin Nanev of
Pomorie, European youth champion in
class "Formula Windsurfing" and
nine for men in the same league. In
the girls to 19 years young teen
embraced hope Jana Markova from
Nessebar. She was national champion
in the class "Laser 4.7", a 19th
place worldwide in the same class
and 32nd tournament of the World
Volvo Yoth 2006.
The award for Best Coach
of the Year was awarded to Yordanka
Minkova, head coach at a marina in
"Black Sea - Breeze"
(Varna).
And as in Varna in
December smell of the sea, will
say: I hope 2007 is a more fruitful
for the Knights of the sails. And
in the European family to feel as
our sailors in the world family of
hunters wind!
