Week 12 [12-18.06.2017] Sailing

Sailing
Have you ever tried to sail? Maybe you want to try? I’m 23 and I’ve never do that untill integration trip of our company. It was three days of incredible fun and experiences. But let’s start from the beginning. There were about 50 people so we had 9 yachts (about 5/6 people on the boat). We’ve set off from Giżycko and finished in Trygort. Everyday we were getting up about 9-10 a.m (it was so hard to wake up after great party in the port), swimming all day long and after 8-9 hours later we were returning  to the port to have a party. After this trip I’ve enrolled on the course to make a yacht skipper patent. I’ve learned at lot about yacht types, native rules, weather, etc. There are many kinds of yachts and I want to describe some of them.

The first I’ve ever sailed on was Sigma 600


It’s really small and so fast yacht. Sigma was invented and created  first time in 2011 and it’s became one of the most popular in 6 years. It has 6 meters long and about 8 meters long mast. In my opinion it’s the best boat for everyone who doesn’t pay attention to comfort details and just want to have great fun, because there is no any place to sleep or even cabin, just board and tackle.


The second proposition is Tango


This is a big brother of Sigma 600 and it’s kind of yachts that have approximately 12 metres long and have cabin with beds, little kitchen and table. The cabin can be occupied by 8 to 12 people but it depends on size of boat. Trust me, it’s really comfortable place to live :D.
There are lot of other types of yachts but those are most popular in my opinion. It’s important those yachts are designed to sail on lakes only.

Questions:
Have you ever tried to sail? If yes – how do you like it?
If you had to choose, what kind of yacht would you try at first?

Week 11 [03-09.06.2019] The problem with ecological cars emission in UK

The problem with ecological cars emission in UK Since the adoption of the European Emission Allowance Directive in the European Parliament, all car makers have tried to submit. Since 1992, the Euro I standard has been in force, which limited the emission of carbon monoxide to the atmosphere. The Euro VI standard currently applies, which limits the series of exhaust gases. These include: hydrocarbons, nitrogen and carbon oxides, and dust.   The most significant change was brought by the Euro IV standard. For the first time it introduced the limitation of nitrogen oxides, which are responsible for the harmful compounds of smog.   What is smog?   Smog consists of sulfur oxides, nitrogen and carbon. In addition, solid substances such as suspended dust (PM). Dust suspend in atmospheric aerosols may be in liquid and solid form. These can be particles of sea salt, clouds from the Sahara and artificial compounds made by people. These compounds often come fr
