The Ukraine Atlantique Association, with the support of Interparus Yachting, ran a week-long workshop that gave children their very first steps in yachting— teaching them how to set sail, handle lines and explore the sea with confidence and teamwork.

Most of the younger kids had never been on a yacht before. They travelled from Ukraine to join us, hoisted sails for the first time, learned rigging, steering and deck work. Salty wind, new friends and open water — there was enough excitement for everyone, instructors included.

We thank the parents for their trust and the children for their energy and courage. The Interparus team is sure this week will stay with them for years and prove that the sea is open to anyone ready to learn and share the adventure.
