Talented sailors with good experience are always hungry for success and will try to catch top-3 in each race. On the other side, there are some other teams who have more knowledge of local conditions because of competing in the Series from the beginning. These are Hubex team with Anton Frolov on helm, Double V Sailing Team led by Mikhail Senatorov and O1 Properties skippered by Petr Bukin.
