Yachts, however, intended mainly for the high sea, therefore Dutches in XVII century have developed a design of the first shvertbota and have constructed it. The vessel has won wide popularity because of small deposits which gave the chance to use it on the rivers and lakes, including and not deep-water.
Modern sailing vessels, as is known, are based on these two types of the courts which were born in the Netherlands, - yachts and shvertbotah or their combinations. Among the most popular sailing courts - Â"the Flying DutchÂ", named so in commemoration of the considerable contribution of Dutches in development of this kind of sports.
Now as the sailing centre province Frislandija serves in the Netherlands - edge of blue lakes. But unless something can be compared to the high sea! Who from jahtsmenov will resist a temptation to give the sails to the wind power on open spaces of the North Sea!
The North Sea... More than on one thousand kilometres its Netherlands coast, and in air not only splashes of waves and aroma of pine needles was stretched, it is impregnated by an oil and fish smell, multilingual speech of seamen here is heard and flags of all states having sea merchant marine fleets flutter.
The Sea... How many music and heat, tenderness and inspiration, force and caution is heard in this word! The grey-haired North Sea, terrible waves of its turquoise waters... For Dutches it both a joy, and a grief. It grants them many pleasures in a life and at the same time serves as constant threat to existence. Dutches have realised for a long time it, but they have realised and another - the sea can be operated, he can be won. In salted sea air of coast of the Netherlands new and new dreams of boys are born, on change to dreams prosy, every day affairs winning the sea in due course come. As though it would be desirable to use other, by itself arising words - won the sea. But it is obvious, the sea cannot be won and to win it, it is necessary to work, work every day persistently and persistently. Dutches understand it, as anybody another in the world.
