Demolition of one of the buildings of yacht club «Krestovsk»y in St. Petersburg started on September 21 . The yacht club is going to demolish the building of yacht school, slips for launching boats and decks for parking of trailers for ships. The water part of «Krestovsky», however, continues to operate.

Dismantling is being carried out by «Center for Improving the Effectiveness of the Use of State Property». Officials demanded from the yacht club management to vacate the shoreline plot leased to them until 2014. Nevertheless, the yacht club has a water use agreement in place until 2018, so the pontoons, gas station and floating administration building on the water «Bosman's House» should continue to operate as before.

The yacht club is being demolished as part of the preparation of the coastal part of Krestovsky Island for the 2018 FIFA World Cup. According to city planners' plans there will be an embankment and a beach.
