Sasha: Well, it all began in the summer of 2019. Our friend Arina has found a yachting project («Паруса России») and invited people from HSE there. The project was completely free for student from any university and there was no separate HSE section at the time. I have found it via the group for HSE sport classes and sent to Gleb right away. We have started to attend the classes together, at first without any credit. In September, we took part in a race just for the experience.
Gleb: We decided to create the club at the bar, where we celebrated our first race. Arina came up with the idea and we were all for it.
