Парусник Херсонес: прогулка по нижней палубе, подъём косого паруса

"Hersonissos" - training three-masted frigate (the ship with a full rigged), training base of Sevastopol branch of the State Maritime University. Admiral FF Ushakov (home port - Sevastopol). Built in Poland in the Gdańsk Shipyard of Lenin in 1989. Originally named "Alexander Grin", but the end of the construction, in honor of the 1000th anniversary of the Baptism of Russia, renamed "Hersonissos". This three-masted ship has a full direct "vehicular" rig. 26 sails are controlled entirely by hand and are the main engine of the vessel. Two motor-drive one screw, used to sailing in storm conditions, as well as when entering and leaving port. Controllable-pitch propellers can be converted into so-called "feathered position" in order to reduce resistance when moving under sail.
