wearing your regular clothes you find yourself in the atmosphere of a life there is no more. linked to dimitri have built his first sailing vessel more than thirty years ago since then private enterprises have sprung up. the first boat was called the pool more little army than bush was in one hundred eighty seven when we went to spitzbergen aboard the vessel if you will get it in we naturally we experienced first hand the pleasures of going to history boarded into each boat going to. film companies often turn to pictures of boats ship builders. one of the scenes from the blockbuster pirates of the caribbean features a sailing vessel built puzzle much you called shipyard. paddle has war memories of another occasion when he got a request from british filmmakers. about for almost. violence

a telephone call and the caller said he represented a film company would you as much as the other go beyond me to build some models for a film where they didn't say exactly which film it was going to be. shortly before the phone call pavel had read the hornblower a novel by the british author sessile scott forrester it was clear from the list of ships that he was being asked to do his bit for an adaptation of the book it's going to go work but he said right away though it was about see battles during the napoleonic wars so we're techno mortar. so even a small bit of information narrowed it down for us and forrester was the first name that sprang to mind. the customers were impressed by the ability of petra's of old shipbuilders to identify the historical background by word of mouth alone the boats for the hornblower see cool but for built in petra's of votes one two emmy awards.

isn't that one. person not ability that building rowing boats as well as models was quite a challenge the force. which we had to handle a lot of archive material to be able to make english and french vessels. and we were also told that british audiences can be quite sophisticated. but they have no difficulty telling an english for it from a french one. into puzzles shipyard less than a year to build eleven replica vessels and four full scale rowing boats dating back to the late eighteenth century. collingswood done by restores a mic e.g. museum. of yourself a year to complete the job and we don't models with sales cannons and carvings.

since board. some of the ships launched in factories of all skin the past years are already part of modern history a museum in the siberian town of circuits is playing with the idea of enriching its collection with a replica of the cost that it was made in victor dimitri of shipyard in petra's avoid school most twenty years ago at the request of a russian film company. the vessel is an exact copy of the sixteenth century cost but. so you have replaced this part here yes excellent now fifty blanks here please. replica was featured in a film about the legendary. the man who conquered siberia. this is the one with natural walls saw it up into four sections parallel separate know it in the midsection and then put it all back together in

a sort of good museum with. sometimes victor and pavel compete for clients on other occasions they combine forces on joint projects. one of the his employees is showing the monk how the project is progressing. a song still oh good day hours ago and not much everything's fine. have you finished in a decade. but let's install the gas tank here for almost maybe let's put it there. patient with all the other equipment has been linked up. like the engine control. right now demetrius company is working on boats ordered by theatre testis the monks idea was to use three replicas of ancient russian boats to retrace the waterway that links

russia to the balkans in the eleventh century of opinion that life has lost their precious colonel that used to be at its very core the joys of creation learning and discovery its noble hope to be able to revive those values by organizing what we call the journey from russia to the land of the serbs. since then they took to me to the earth has built some fifty vessels the shipyard launches new boats on a reg. basis in petrus of votes victor is known by the nickname after. some of the monks specially ordered boats are ready to test on the water accompanying the monk on his trip are historical enthusiastic their aim is to reach the shores of keiji island to take part in a special performance. culture

even the missions close to collapsing is so close close close. to fail circlet banks again feel a little like think is the u.s. crash and imminent smash the ceiling is like ultimate in classes in athens greece the i.m.f. or force me i'm just programs increase the total economy. at the beginning of the season the optical odyssey shipyard veterans launch to pall mall but. they had been ordered by the government of russia's northeast region of two katka which is less than a hundred kilometers from alaska. but you will not know why as the opposing blades will. one shift it so it won't get in the way. of all

the. wind is picking up quickly it would. in the fifteenth to seventeenth centuries european explorers were busy looking for routes leading to asia and africa meanwhile their russian counterparts explored the northernmost parts of the asian american continent the authorities of chukotka now want to send an expedition retracing those very roots as a reminder of the discoveries made by russian seafarers. the commune just knows forage around you called kernville of seven such boats he set out from the arctic ocean and ended up in an a deer where the boats were taken apart by the expeditions members return to their base and yet on foot. seven replicas of camo boats that you just set out on an expedition retracing the schnorrers route only two of them have been built so far.

they have been tried out in both the white sea and in two of europe's largest lakes and yoga and lot of alexei vala boy the job of took part in both trials. at the flicks a completely unique experience it's nothing like what you're used to back in town you don't need to take ten calls or write five hundred emails here you need to know how to set a sale in the nick of time or refloat your vessel if it runs aground well with all that completely changes your mindset and even helps you to find your purpose in life what's of. the st nicholas has safely reached kishi island with tourists on board. tomorrow one of the main events of the year the kishi regatta will take place. here yeah hang the ladder up to the right side.

seven old men from the two katka are going to take part in their first occasion regatta. they're building a traditional she kayak on a nearby island. kept these days to use only small kayaks for hunting at sea but in your old days large coyotes like this one were used or to hunt for whales and walrus or. this one here is the big guy a. maxime thing and you and six companions spent more than two days on their journey from to cut cut the key they travelled by air train and steamboats the team had brought with them one hundred fifty kilograms of war skin which they were going to use to make a boat but they were in for a disappointment at the end of their journey probably were over unfortunately each wallet in transit because we didn't stored properly.

nevertheless the chook tree craftsman managed to find an alternative. they replaced the natural skin of a common chukchi war us with plastic. kayak was ready to use a day before the race. joey turn it around no will turn it around when we get to the water if. she is an island the lake an egg and. here is a unique museum would knock a texture. to collection includes dozens of structures some of them more than two hundred years old. one of the buildings dates back almost five hundred is. more recent structures are found on the coast such as appear the visitors. but for the most part the island looks just like it did one

hundred fifty years ago. outsiders can only come here either as tourists or as participants in the keiji regatta which is held once a year. the participants in the balkan expedition being organized by monks this just insist on historical things to city their sporting are not and learning how to wield mediæval weapons. wooden boats and sailing vessels standing side by side with three hundred year old wooden churches strengthen the illusion of a journey to the times when timber was the principal building material here.

that's a matter of our traditional russian architecture reason this is because the main constructions have been made without really peasants so to make do without because they cost a lot of money. that are this is so true for instance there are piles of churches. barns you can both houses and the like over the. this is the source of the legend claiming that the keys e churches were built without a single nail in the end we are it's the only the walls and roofs were made without using nails and they were indispensable church terms nowadays children play with building blocks know only too well how the walls were built this technique makes restoration much easier damaged parts of the transfiguration church have been gradually replaced since two thousand and four. now the church is almost suspended

again because of the restoration work on its foundation. this is a begin with we needed a good foundation the lower part was taken away to be restored we put up a new stance and this is sampled part of church this is the lifting system of complete with lifting jacks see it works just like this. process they were done with. this means that the building assumption doesn't get in the way as we work on the foundation. one of the first bell ring is imposed communist russia is cycling briskly to make sure he reports from work on time. these hundreds the file isn't oakley the cheesy church for almost two decades there are only a few places in the world where the sound of bells can spread far and wide without

echoing off of the surface since it is impossible to confuse the chime of bells with any of. this everything here. is just as it was in the eighteenth and nineteenth century is no noise of the kind you find in the city. today the bells sound as they did a hundred or two hundred years ago because they're not drowned out by noise. the hole in the water also helps the chinese travel over long distances. shines depending on whether the richest secular holiday is being celebrated igor who saves the villages sometimes even danced to the sound bells. in improvise ation on the theme of festive choice well. i mean normally this stall is not intended for people marching in a religious procession of people. rather it stuck to the stroke of an.

exam that. is only natural to chime from the belfry signals the start of the p.g.a. regatta. thirty four to support. three tourists. additional wooden boats a modern sports sports each category has a subgroup with the number of balls been ranging from one to six. after a brief deliberation the panel of judges decides to class that took cheek kayak as a traditional temple but. one. strong very strong force. the races are expected to cover one nautical mile with each boat going at its own pace as a rule half an hour is enough for even the slowest but it's. even over that short

distance accidents still happen the rudder of the cheek brakes. the rudders come loose. rule harder stroke one. stroke. stroke free. but neither the tiresome journey the ruined war risk in all the failure of the rudder can stop the chokey races they take first place in that category with a record sixty minutes and forty seven seconds. stroke four stroke five stroke six stroke seven. son of the ship builder from petra zawacki has taken part in the p.g.a. regatta for the first time his vessel in the modern sports by category came second

and many generations of profit margin calls ancestors lived on the shores of the neck and lake. but another key ziva gotta come to an end. guests and participants bid farewell to one another and prepare for departure. the keiji rules astringent everybody with the exception of museum staff is required to leave the island before eight pm. to send nicholas to say goodbye to everybody by firing a shot from it's come and. the boat's crew gets ready for another voyage. of seeing people are put to the test and it soon becomes abundantly clear what sort of person they are. macon yoga is new colas for its character selling

that is sometimes more treacherous an open water indeed locals often regard it as a see how strong is the way in strong westerly wind at ten meters per second to. the crew of the scent because set sail for the lake. fasten the boom and bust. are you frightened no not yet it's very frustrating. hold the rudder. the fool they reach home they will have to come up some fourteen multiple miles through rough waves.
