Share on social media

On July 26 a race «of unusual boats» will be held in St. Petersburg. The sleigh boats, decorated in the most bizarre ways, will descend into the water area of the resort «Igora» from the mountain and race to the finish line.

The winners will be chosen in three categories: «The most creative descent», «The fastest descent» and «The Audience Favorite Prize».

As for the boats, the imagination of the participants is not restricted - they can be of any shape.

Examples of floatation devices include a boat in the form of the «Death Star» (with Darth Vader on board), a boat in the form of a mutant pumpkin, a boat in the form of a giant guitar and a roomy rubber duck.

Anyone can apply for participation in the competition. The main thing is to invent a water craft, make it and test it on the water beforehand.

Both for spectators and «amateur yachtsmen» the SaniDay Summer event is absolutely free. The festival program can be found using this link.

Mock Boat Tournament is held in the city for the first time. At the same time in winter St. Petersburg citizens could watch a similar competition from the same organizers - a race on a homemade sled.
