"Actually, the regatta was tough. There were many obstacles and truly intense rivalry, so I had to think outside the box. It was an exhausting day. The wind was not the same as during the previous cup, but I managed to draw correct conclusions and plan everything in detail," Semyon Mekhanikov said.
