Жаль, что нет парусов

Impressive ship - and I agree: would be far cooler if it were sailing and not using the motor.

The channel is very narrow and it is dangerous to maneuver with the sails; the crew on the ship are cadets of the naval school.

Great work. It is a lovely craft. It must look magnificent when under full sail rather than engine-powered.

Unfortunately, sailing ships rarely appear in the port and there is no information where near the coast they will sail with sails. To shoot a video of a ship with sails, you need to sail on this ship.

Yes the sails would drive it too rapidly into the port, for sure.

Superb footage Serg.    Many times it is much easier to motor in when you are in a river or narrow waterway than to use sails.  Sure, it is not as impressive but much safer.

Can you imagine trying to bring this beast up a river to get into a safe haven or port under sail power?

Therefore, I am satisfied with the shots I took, but I dream of seeing and making a video of the ship under sail)

I hope that your dream will some day come true.  Seeing schooners and clippers under full sail is not an everyday occurrence so it is great when you can at least capture it once.  Of course, you might have to follow it out of port with your drone for a ways but will definitely be worth the effort.

Looks very good!

Really nice capture and nicely filmed

I had to track the position of the ship on the Internet all day and then drive about an hour to the point and wait another hour)
But for me all this is interesting, although the flight itself is always associated with a certain stress.

Thank you! It was a cloudy evening; it would probably have been better in sunny weather)

Fantastic capture there Serg.

You're welcome.
Yeah, that would be better even.

Impressive ship!
