Thirteen-time Blue Ribbon winner Litkey Farkas and his team have started preparing for the lake bypass competition.
Thirteen-time Blue Ribbon winner Litkey Farkas and his team have started preparing for the Lake Lake bypass race - the helmsman is motivated by some uncertainty in the team’s composition.
“We usually get ready for the Blue Ribbon for a month and a half, now we have a little more time as the race has been postponed for a few weeks,” PreVital Governor Litkey told NS about the issue. He also said that it is very interesting that a few weeks ago they were still excited about whether it would be possible to sail or race this year at all, would there be a Blue Ribbon? And now they are weaving plans and even training continuously. All the information available today suggests that things are going in the right direction for the epidemic and could hold the Blue Ribbon on July 30th.
Litkey Wolf also said that the postponement would not significantly affect anything. The tradition is that the race will be held at the full moon in July - the month is left and we will be very close to the full moon as well, so the timing is good in every way. There is some uncertainty in the composition of the team right now, because the guys were obviously affected differently by this downtime of more than two months. Life has started recently, not everyone can train the same as before, so instead of the original six, there are now eight to nine crew members because there are those who can afford less, the governor said. He added that usually the program announced in January will be signed by six people and preparations will begin. Now it causes some uncertainty that there are also two harbors on the team, they already have a lot to do at the end of July, so their participation is uncertain. It’s an interesting situation, the boys don’t know if they can come and they don’t know who they’re going to compete with, but it’s also fun and motivating. Due to the higher number of people, there will be no more sailing days, but you will be able to spend more time on the water on each occasion. He has competed with everyone on the team, but not yet together, so cohesion needs to be created.
When asked if the workout was successful? Litkey Wolf replied that he felt completely as if he had just gotten out of the boat. During a photo shoot, they also did maneuvers that they had previously only been able to afford after a month of sailing.
In the course of the report, it became clear that due to the epidemiological situation, there was absolutely no need to change the usual protocol. “There are six of us on the boat, plus two people in the motorcycle, we can work together according to the regulations, there’s no problem with that. There are far fewer people in the port than usual, but it could also be due to bad weather. The only difference is that the port crew wears a mask and that we have to put it on if we go to the public, but that’s all, it doesn’t interfere with the preparation. ” The 13-time blue ribbon winner told the reporter.
