Greeting Sailors around the world!
We are the Latvian sailors who have dreamed of the possibility to sale around the world without stopping at the shore, preferably within the framework of the regatta (Barcelona Race, Vendee Globe, Royal Round the World Race).
The first attempt to launch such a project was far back in year 2002, but because lack of sponsorship and lack of political support as well influence of economic crises, it failed to realize.
Latvia, during the Soviet occupation and the subsequent economic crisis, has lost several generation of sailors. A small step forward was made when in 2008 - Baltic Open Regatta was organized. At present, this regatta will be held within the framework of the Latvian Champion marine yachts.
The non-profit foundation "Baltic Open" is an organization that aims to develop sailing in Latvian.
In preparation for the Latvian celebration of 100-year anniversary we are raising new target. We want to reach the Latvian record – sailing around the world in 100 days, without stopping at the coast. This 100-day sail around the world has overcome only a very small number of people. If we will manage to do it, we will show that Latvia is a sea powered country, but the Latvian people are brave, strong, durable and patient. It would be unquestionable prestigious acknowledgment for the Latvian state and the population. It would be our "Success Story"!
We believe that together we will be able to realize this project without Latvian taxpayer’s money!
For the implementation of the project we must have at least $ 700,000. A similar project has cost the world $ 2-5 million. For the project sponsors, we offer a wide range of advertising opportunities.
Our team captain and coach Ilgonis Balodis has gained a lot of experience in sailing regattas world wide and cooperating with the Latvian, Russia, Ukraine, Israel, Malta, sailing teams. The best progress was made when Ilgonis gained 3rd place in the famous Rolex Middle Sea Race regatta in 2012. Together with a chief mate David Loginov and Raymond Salaks. Both are very experienced in international class yachtsmen. Together they have sailed several thousand nautical miles in preparing themselves for great start and they are ready to participate in both the Double Hand (two people on board) and full-time team. Wishing to sail from the Latvia are many. The only question are- whether they can afford it financially.
The funds that will be collected during this campaign will be used for yachts rent or purchase. Sails, technical equipment, organization, internet telephony and documentary film creation.
If the yacht is purchased, then after the end of the project, it will be used as training yacht for Latvian sailors and Latvian Maritime Academy learners. Latvian Maritime Academy is one of the few top-level maritime professions educational institutions in the world which has no training or sailing yachts.
In case if for some reason it wont be possible to buy or rent the yacht, the money raised will be used for the purchase of equipment for Latvian children and youth sailing.
Sveiciens Latviešiem un burātājiem visā pasaulē!
Mēs esam burātāji no Latvijas kuri jau sen sapņo par iespēju
apburāt apkārt pasaulei bez apstāšanās krastā pēc iespējas īsākā
laikā, vēlams regates ( Vendee Globe, Barcelona Race, Royal Round
the World Race) ietvaros. Pirmais mēģinājums uzsākt šādu
projektu bija tālajā 2002 gadā, bet sponsoru trūkuma, politiķu
atbalsta trūkuma, ekonomisko krīžu dēļ to līdz šim neizdevās realizēt.
Latvija, Padomju Okupācijas gados un vēlāko ekonomisko krīžu dēļ, ir zaudējusi vairākas burātāju paaudzes. Mazs mierinājums bija kad 2008 gadā izdevās organizēt Baltic Open Regatta. Šobrīd šīs regates ietvaros tiek izcīnīts arī Latvijas Čempiona tituls jūras jahtām. Bezpeļņas nodibinājums “Baltic Open” ir organizācija kuras mērķis ir attīstīt burāšanu Latvijā.
Gatavojoties Latvijas Simtgadei mēs esam mazliet paaugstinajuši savus mērķus. Mēs vēlamies sasniegt Latvijas rekordu- apburāt apkārt pasaulei bez apstāšanās krastā 100 dienās! Šo 100 dienu barjeru visā pasaulē ir parvarējuši tikai ļoti neliels skaits cilvēku. Nav daudz to valstu kuru parstāvji būtu veikuši distanci apkārt pasaulei bez apstāšanās. Ja mēs to izdarīsim- tad pašu spēkiem būsim pierādījuši ka Latvija ir Jūras lielvalsts, bet Latvijas cilvēki ir drosmīgi, stipri, izturīgi un pacietīgi. Tas būtu neapšaubāms Latvijas valsts un iedzīvotāju prestiža apliecinājums. Tas būtu mūsu “Veiksmes stāsts”!
Mēs ticam ka kopā mēs spēsim to paveikt neizmantojot šajā projektā Latvijas iedzīvotāju nodokļos samaksāto naudu!
Projekta realizācijai ir nepieciešams vismaz 700.000$. Līdzīgu projektu izmaksas pasaulē ir 2-5miljoni $ . Projekta Sponsoriem, juridiskajām personām, mēs piedāvājam plašas reklāmas iespējas.
Mūsu komandas kapteinis un treneris Ilgonis Balodis ir ieguvis lielu pieredzi burāšanā piedaloties straptautiskajās regatēs un sadarbojoties ar Latvijas, Krievijas, Ukrainas, Izraēlas, Maltas burāšanas komandām. Labākais saniegums ir izcīnītā 3 vieta slavenajā Rolex Middle Sea Race regatē 2012.gadā. Neatsverami kapteiņa palīgi ir Dāvids Loginovs un Raimonds Salaks. Abi ir ļoti pieredzējuši starptautiskās klases burātāji. Kopā mēs esam noburājuši vairākus tūkstošus jūras jūdžu gatavojot sevi lielajam startam un esam gatavi startēt gan Double Hand (divi cilvēki uz borta) gan pilnas komandas sastāvā. Burāt gribētāju no Latvijas ir daudz. Vienīgais jautājums ir- vai viņi to var atļauties finansiāli.
Līdzekļi kuri tiks savākti šīs kampanas laikā tiks izlietoti jahtas īrei vai iegādei. Burām, tehniskajam aprīkojumam un burājuma organizēšanai, interneta sakaru nodrosināšanai. Dokumentālās filmas izveidei.
Ja jahta tiks iegādāta, tad pēc šī projekta beigām, tā tiks izmantota kā treniņjahta Latvijas burātājiem, jauniešiem un Latvijas Jūras Akadēmijas kursantiem. Latvijas Jūras Akadēmija ir viena no retajām augstākā līmeņa jūras profesiju mācību iestādēm pasaulē kurai nav sava mācību burinieka vai jahtas.
Gadījumā ja kādu iemeslu dēļ nebūs iespējas šim projektam paredzēto jahtu, ne iegādāties, ne izīrēt, tad savāktie līdzekļi tiks izmantoti burāšanas aprīkojuma iegādei Latvijas bērniem un jauniešiem.
