Fedor Konyukhov, who visited Saratov this week, decided to open a travel school for children in the city. It became known from the materials of the regional media.

According to the famous navigator, he will not only allow young yachtsmen to train in his native city, but also will present 20 yachts to the region - money for that will be received from sponsors.

The traveler also urged authorities of Saratov to make a similar gift to the school as it is necessary - at the moment the number of boats does not correspond to the number of those wishing to practice on them.

When Konyukhov will deliver the boats to the city on the Volga, it is not specified.

It is also not clear when exactly in Saratov a children's travel school will appear, as there are problems with its organization: according to the press, the traveler wants to establish it on a disputed plot of land.

Recall, a few months ago, Fedor Konyukhov alone crossed the Pacific Ocean on a rowing yacht «Turgoyak». The journey took 160 days.
