About this project

<p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-size: 11pt"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif">Ascot Polska, by analysing the vacation property market in which it operates, has identified significant gaps in the area of recreation and leisure within the Great Masurian Lakes. There is no high-class ecological harbor in the connected lakes of Mamry, there is hardly any tourist infrastructure available year-round, there are insufficient sustainable tourism offers, and the tourist potential of Lake Święcjaty is untapped. We have therefore planned to create a comprehensive eco-marina, going back to the forgotten heritage of ice sailing in Masuria in the pre-war (WWII) period. It is a winter sailing discipline, with propulsion based on a sail, and skids as the driving element. The project will introduce attractive recreation outside the summer season through the construction of a year-round recreation pavilion with access to a sauna, a sailing simulator, and the organization of ice sailing rentals and courses.</span></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-size: 11pt"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif">We want to approach the issue of environmental performance comprehensively, implementing a&nbsp;variety of pro-environmental solutions. The project includes: earthworks, hydrotechnical and construction works, creation of port infrastructure including slips, utilities and sanitary facilities; and construction of service facilities including a pavilion with a chamber of historical traditions, and bicycle rental. Green infrastructure will also be created, including a boat and electric vehicle charger, LED lighting powered by PV, heating of the service pavilion with a modern heat pump. These solutions will reduce annual CO<sub>2 </sub>emissions by over 75 tons per year, and reduce annual electricity consumption by 0.1 GWh.</span></span></p>
