Sailing

Grandpa Feri gained his driving licence for sailing boats in the 1970s, and he has travelled around Lake Balaton many times with one of the sailing boats of the then “home trade” fleet.

Then the family restored a classical Balaton yolle 25 and used it until the beginning of the 1990s.

From the 1980s, the boys, Zsiga and Feri were members of Mahart SE (Hungarian Boating Sport Association) in Siófok, where at that time such a legendary figure of Hungarian sailing sailed as Imre Szabó „Pempő”.

With Feri’s steering the team won the Winemaker Regatta established in 2011 with a goal of creating a tradition. Besides Zsiga, Orsi also participated in the team. Of course, they are permanent participants of the Kékszalag (International Sailing Competition held every year) too, and in spring they regularly compete on a regatta on the Adriatic Sea, and on many other sailing competitions.
