There is no such project in our region and in Ukraine now - only in a part of Dnipro between two islands we received special permission from our local military-civilian regional administration to go on water with children boats for training with the help of instructors (some of them are war veterans after amputations and prosthetic medical care), together with parents and supporting of the water police and resources with the immediate breaks during rocket or drones attacks.

We must do everything possible to help children forget the horrors of war, and prevent the enemy from taking their lives, health, opportunities for rest, sports, sailingrehabilitation.

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, Cherkasy 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
