Michael Adam Weselak
I was born in 1987, Gdańsk. I graduated from the Academy of Physical Education in Gdańsk. I started my sailing adventure in my first year of study. In the short time I obtained a nautical patent, and my skills szlifowałem during internships at the National Sailing Centre. Then the time came for training. In her teaching career, I conducted theoretical classes for students of AWF-U from the obligatory "sailing" course. I have been a sailing instructor in such educational programs as the Maritime Education program in Gdańsk and the Pomeranian Maritime Education programme. I also cooperated with Matthew Kusznierewicza NAVIGARE Foundation. After graduating and collaborating on local projects, I participated in the international Project Maritime Education and Sail training for Young people (MAST). The training was designed for young people from the Baltic Sea Basin countries. Cruises took place in Gdańsk Żaglowcu STS General ZARUSKI and owned by Kłajpedzkiego University, Lithuanian żaglowcu STS BRABANDER.
After the end of the cooperation with the educational programs, I went professionally and took part in the regatta in the water of the Baltic, Mediterranean and northern seas. Currently, for more than three years, I am a customer service specialist in Polish żaglowni. My tasks are m.in. Preparation of offers and design of sails to tourist yachts and racers. I also advise on the selection of suitable materials and typefaces for different types of sails.
Professionally, I am also a measuring vessel of the sea measuring formula ORC-offshore Racing Congress. I scan hulls, rigging measurements, hulls, sails and freeboard, and I study the stability of the yachts.
Mini class 6.50
Since 2014, I am fascinated by the Mini 6.50 class. After working with Radkiem Kowalczyk, I started preparing for Mini-shipping. The first workouts took place in the spring of 2015 years, when I acquired the PROTO yacht and continued until the end of 2016 years. Through these two seasons I switched from Mini to many moments of fear, tipping and full discouragement, as well as moments of excitement, tremendous surfing speed on the waves with the wind and over 3000 INM of experience. So far I have managed to sail on several decks of class mini yachts 6.50 such as 029, 790, 884, 894 (numbers).
From 2017 years I have the opportunity to sail on one of the latest constructions of the Mini class yacht 6.50. The carbon hull, mast, rudder and sword and ballast make the unit ultralekką and blazingly fast. Such a yacht puts even more challenges Sternikowi, who wants to take full advantage of its potential.
The dynamics of my nautical development poses a key question to me – what next?
I follow the direction of sailing regatta and my goal is to participate in the Regatta MINI TRANSAT 2019.
