One of two Soviet yachts entered by the yacht club of this Maritime College in Vladivostok. Admiral Nevelskoy came to Australia in late 1987, contesting the 1988 Bicentennial Tall Ships race. Although the crew hope to make up a USSR team for the Southern Cross Cup with Komandor Bering and a third chartered yacht, both Soviet sloops are older craft use more for training than racing. Skipper Leonid Lysenko is a very experienced ocean racing yachtsmen.
