THE HISTORY

The history of children's sailing in Cherkasy began in 1960.

The primary goal of the school was to integrate children of war into society and to prepare them for future service in the army.

As of 1990, Cherkassy children were able to train and participate in competitions on yachts of the classes "Tornado", "Flying Dutch", "Cadet", "Optimist", "AK Dingo", "470", "420".

According to very rough estimates, more than 3,000 children have passed through sailing since the creation of the first school in 1960 until the last school closed in 1992.

From childhood, the ability to harness the power of wind and water for thousands of Cherkasy citizens became a pass into an adult successful life, devoid of bad habits, antisocial environment.

Many Cherkassy citizens-Rotarians owe their success in life to children's sailing.

The end of the Soviet era, the financial problems of independent Ukraine, the lack of understanding of the importance of sports in general, and sailing for children in particular, were the factors that led to the closure of all children's sailing schools in Cherkasy, the sale of all yachts and all property to individuals.

Children's sailing in Cherkasy was gone.

In 2019 Cherkasy yachtsmen, who grew up on children's yachting, created Cherkasy Ukrainian Fleet.

Cherkasy yachtsmen became members of Rotary Club Cherkasy.

And now we appeal to the worldwide Rotary community and present their our restoration project (after more than 25 years break) of the Children's Sailing School (Cherkasy, Ukraine)

Our project consists of two parts - intangible and tangible.

The intangible part of the project is that, with your help, it will give Cherkasy children the following qualities:

- Independence

- Spatial thinking

- Purposeful

- Oneness with nature

- Habit to order

- Endurance

- Responsibility

- Ability to predict the result

- Courage

- Patience

Children's sailing school is an opportunity to adapt to society children from disadvantaged families, children of unreliable parents, orphans, children whose parents were killed in the conflict in the Donbass, children with disabilities, children from single families.

Children's sailing school is a promotion of healthy lifestyles among young people.

Sailing is attracting attention to the problems of ecology, clean water - because without love for the natural elements, there will be no future for humanity.

The material part is the need to purchase equipment for the restoration of a children's sports sailing school in Cherkasy.

Note: as of July 1, 2015 there is a 5% additional support fee for cash contributions. This fee does not appear in the financials above because it does not apply if the funds are sent directly to the project account (without going through TRF, and therefore without Paul Harris credit). Clubs sending their cash contribution to TRF must be aware they will have to send an additional 5%.
