Who are we?
We are into sea. We are Atlantic Challenge Russia association. We do not only sail and row, but also build and repair our boats - captain's gigs - with our own hands. Each summer we organise boat trips and training camps. Every other year we participate in Atlantic Challenge International Contest of Seamanship.

Atlantic Challenge International is a non-profit volunteer programme uniting youth organisations of 12 countrires and regions throughout the world: the Basque Country, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Great Britain, Indonesia, Ireland, the Nothern Ireland, the province of Quebec, Russia and the USA. The Russian crew has been participating in Atlantic Challenge contest of seamanship since 1990.

Our goal is to preserve and spread traditions of seamanship, share knowledge, engage youth in seafaring, and exchange experience with sailors from other countries.
