This proven, safe, and fast ocean-cruising Trimaran, beautifully maintained and continually up-graded has now reluctantly been placed on the market by her knowledgeable owners!

The Chris White 55 is a great daysailor and able to make extended ocean passages as a very quick, safe and easily handled vessel. She is equipped with a very comfortable and seamanlike interior with attractive natural timber finishes, solar panels and a wind generator for electrical self-sufficiency and good ventilation. The designer commented that "she is long in order to provide comfort sailing in the ocean, wide for stability in extreme conditions, but simple in construction, accommodation and systems. She's an excellent performer, and has a very comfortable motion in waves". The concept of the Juniper 2 is a new design incorporating several refinements and improvements from her predecessor. She is wider overall, has a longer and finer bow, and uses a balanced spade rudder instead an outboard hung rudder. Aesthetic details such as the crossbeams and their fairings and the sheer line were refined. The hull underwater shape has less wetted surface than the original and the fin and rudder sections were refined for less drag. The interior layout was refined to increase elbow room and now incorporates a dedicated shower stall. Incorporating a ketch rig that is an absolute joy to handle, tacking is a matter of just turning the wheel. The crossbeams are very high above the water and there are no cabin projections beyond the hull sides. These features eliminate pounding in rough seas, contribute to her comfort underway, and was designed and built for safety and survivability offshore. Her interior and exterior finish is excellent. All systems and equipment were installed and have been carefully maintained and upgraded with an eye for simplicity, reliability and serviceability.

Accommodations

View Option

As you enter the cockpit area, you will find comfortable seating on both sides, and a sun-blocking custom hard bimini, and removable side curtains. The protected helm is well situated to the port side of the companionway which leads to the main cabin, where the accommodation spaces are attractively finished with varnished Alaska yellow cedar hull surfaces and wood trim throughout. The overhead and bulkheads are coated with polyurethane paint.

Entering the aft cabin through the aft crossbeam bulkhead, there is a navigation station on the port side equipped with a 50" x 25" varnished black walnut chart table with flat chart storage beneath. The electronics area is above the chart table. A wet gear locker is also located on the Port side. Large windows to port and starboard provide excellent visibility and light. An aft double berth is located in the aft portion of the compartment. There is storage below and aft of the berth. Two electric fans are provided in the aft berth area.

Next on both port and starboard sides is the galley. The aft port portion of this section houses the head compartment. The head is fitted with a stainless steel sink, a vanity with laminate counter top and stowage under. A mirror and cabinet are provided over the sink. There is a manual marine head with "Y" valve for selectable discharge either overboard or to a 30 gallon holding tank. The holding tank is located in the aft portion of the port float, ensuring that no odor will reach the living area.

Next, through the forward crossbeam bulkhead is the salon/dinette area. Settees are fitted on each side of a varnished black walnut drop leaf table. The settees are 7' long and also function as single berths. Ample stowage is provided beneath the seats and the cabin sole.

Next, forward of the salon area is the master cabin fitted with a 7' long double berth with storage below, a large #10 hatch providing light and ventilation, (2) portlights, (2) reading lights, and fans.

Miscellaneous

10.5 Achilles rib dinghy with Yamaha 15 HP outboard
10' Walker Bay rowing and sailing dinghy w/ sail kit

Carisa was sailed for 12 years by her owner/builders in the Gulf of Mexico and the western Caribbean. They sailed her 6 months out of the year from their home in Tallahassee, FL.

The second owner brought her north to Narraganset Bay, RI. He sailed her there for 6 years and took two trips north to Maine. He day-sailed and the two summer vacations to Maine.

We have owned Carisa for 9 years, having purchased her in Newport, RI and sailed her down the coast to Florida. We kept her in Fernandina Beach. FL for 3 years and sailed her to the Bahamas twice a year for 2 months and 3 months. After that we kept her in George Town, Great Exuma, Bahamas for 4 years; sailing her 4 -5 months a year. That brings us to the present.

The sail plan is wonderful! There is plenty of sail area and they really power up when the wind blows. The obvious difference is "no jibs"! Setting the loose-footed mainsails is accomplished with vangs set well outboard to provide good leverage for the full range of the boom.

Carisa easily sails 9-10 knots with wind speeds of 15-16 knots. With decent sail conditions she will easily make 200+ mile days. In a flotilla she will out sail every boat except performance catamarans and 65'+ racing mono-hulls.

Catching up with chris white.

By Dan Spurr , Jul 25, 2019

White’s Atlantic series of fast cruising catamarans, such as the 57’ (17.4m) shown here, have been his most popular designs; a trademark feature is a second cockpit between the cabin and the mast for superior viewing of sail trim.

It was 36 years ago, in 1983, that multihull designer Chris White hung the proverbial designer’s shingle, Chris White Designs , outside his Massachusetts home. He now boasts more than 80 custom cruising catamarans and trimarans under sail worldwide. In the 1970s, he apprenticed, as it were, with Jim “Trimaran” Brown at his shop in Virginia. Inspired, White built the 52 ‘ (15.8m) cold-molded trimaran Juniper on those grounds, and then sailed the heck out of her. She was an object of great beauty, with the Virginia cedar hull exposed inside. I first met White when he asked editors at Cruising World magazine if any would like to join him as he sailed along with the fleet of that summer’s Classic Yacht Regatta on Narragansett Bay. I jumped at the chance. That day, she fairly glided as if above the water, for at that length, there is zero hobbyhorsing in small chop. We stayed out of the way of the great wooden yachts circumnavigating Conanicut Island, reaching off at speeds unimaginable by the designers and builders of those ancient machines, then zooming back in to the fleet for a closer look.

Chris White and his wife, Kate, have run a successful small design business in South Dartmouth, Massachusetts, since 1983.

Cockpit forward

Over the years White, now 65, has developed his own concepts, working more with catamaran hullforms, as they are more marketable than trimarans. His unique design stamp is a cockpit forward of the pilothouse and aft of the mast, which affords superior views of the sails. Performance is a feature of White’s designs, so he walks the fine line between speed and safety—many production cruising catamarans are under-rigged to discourage capsize. His designs range from the Discovery 21 (6.4m) trimaran daysailer, built by Aquidneck Custom Composites in Bristol, Rhode Island, to the beautiful Atlantic 72 (22m), from the same builder. All White’s designs, including the popular Atlantic series, are built in epoxy/fiberglass/carbon composites for strength, rigidity, and light weight.

Mastfoil Rig

Because of the weight of fully battened large-multihull mainsails, the difficulty handling them, and the risks associated with jibing, White offers the MastFoil rig—two-masts with roller-furling staysails set on self-tending booms.

A somewhat recent development is White’s MastFoil rig featuring two rotating wing spars, each with staysails sheeted to booms to make the sail plan completely self-tending. Noting the inherent shortcomings of mainsails—inefficiency, risks associated with jibing, and time needed to douse in the event of a sudden squall—White asks: “Why not just get rid of the mainsail?” Conventional sloop rigs are, of course, also available and perhaps preferred by most customers, but the MastFoil offers an alternative for those daring to try something different, if not entirely new to the world of sail. White says he has noticed so many big boats in the West Indies setting just headsails, because the big, heavy mainsails are too much work to raise and douse. Rigged with what are in essence two jibs on electric furlers, one can be sailing moments after casting off a mooring. Light-air sails—spinnakers and screechers—are options.

Chile connection

Most of White’s recent builds, plus the spars, have been built at Alwoplast Marine in Chile. The patented MastFoils are carbon tubes inside a non-loadbearing ¼ “ /6mm-wall-thickness foam/carbon airfoil, supported by bushings. In the absence of an autoclave, the carbon spars are made with wet laminate. Hull construction is foam core/epoxy/glass with some carbon in high-stress areas. “They make everything there,” White says. Alwoplast has built eight Atlantic 57s during the seven years they’ve collaborated, this after an earlier builder in South Africa “imploded.” (Read Nigel Calder’s update on South Africa’s catamaran builders ).White says Alwoplast had enough jobs in the pipeline when the 2008 recession hit to get them through to 2010 and beyond.

Custom designs, lots of amenities

When we spoke last spring, White was heading to Bequia, a Grenadine island, with a customer on a 72 ‘ (22m) catamaran. The boat weighed 33,000 lbs (14,949 kg) when launched light and now weighs around 43,000 lbs (19,479 kg) fully loaded, which includes all the amenities designers are accustomed to adding during the build and fit-out—plus an ice cream maker. Yet, the skipper says, even with a fairly conservative rig, the boat routinely sails at 18 kts.

With its considerable beam, the Atlantic 47’s (14.3m) accommodation plan incorporates three doubleberth staterooms, a spacious saloon, and an inside steering station alternative to the outside helm in the forward cockpit.

Working with a standard basic structure of amas, bridge, and pilothouse, each White design is custom. He works closely with the builder and owner, charging a percentage of the build cost. Owners of custom yachts are willing to pay to get what they want, and White’s customers get a handsome multihull yacht with sparkling performance. White is firm in his beliefs, and while he, like all designers, must bend to some customer demands, there are aesthetic and performance lines he won’t cross; if he did, the results wouldn’t showcase those beliefs.

These boats aren't common, that's for sure: 1989 Chris White Juniper 2 Trimaran Sail Boat For Sale - www.yachtworld.com http://www.yachtworld.com/boats/1989/Chris-White-Juniper-2-Trimaran-3026447/Fort-Lauderdale/FL/United-States#.WXJ4l8YpBDs I am tempted but I have reservations concerning the builder. What is your opinion? The intent us to moore it in a protected anchorage in Crete and make multi-month loops around the Med, often shorthanded.

jorgepease Senior Member

Well she has been around long enough so they must have built her decent and she is a beauty but might not be great for shorthanded sailing, I read this on cruisers forum, I bet you could dig up more info with a little looking - Larry, the Juniper 2 (nee ‘Carisa’) is for sale. Yes, it could be yours … The Multihull Company (Philadelphia, PA) Carisa was built by good friends Don & Tamar Clark. She is a work of art. Thing is... @ 54", the boat was HUGE on the outside & small on the inside. They never got it all painted at once, it was so large. They would be back in the yard doing more painting, every other year. Also, the free standing mast were Chris White's originals. They required sock sails that were VERY hard to raise, and the mast required reefing early due to bend. (a spinaker was risky too for this reason) Still, 10 knots of speed much of the time, was NO problem! Chris's Juniper l , was retrofitted with modern stayed mast. (presumably with full battens & roller bearing cars) This really made it a better boat... IMO This is a great boat, but not for the mild of heart! Best, Mark

Thanks Mark, very helpful. It has loose footed mains, unstayed masts and a nice lazy jack system that raises the reefed sails to a vertical position against the mast. All that's needed is an electric winch to raise the sails, no other muscle is required. I'll be speaking with CW as I'm interested to hear his opinion about the builder and the construction. It has a workmanlike finish that may require a few upgrades but I'm withholding opinion until I see it.

UNCIVILIZED DIY Junkyard MadScientist

I know that there are plenty of Freedom's which, while initially designed for sails sleeved along the luff, now have mainsail track systems. So switching would likely be an option. And if you were to go that route, due to then having the option of running full length battens, you could add more roach to the sail if you liked. Not to mention that such full battens would make sail handling much simpler.

	that I am considering. The was built by a builder/owner, not in a yard, and the reflects this fact. The owner is a nice guy and quite knowledgeable about cruising and tris. The is not listed by Chris White (anything to read here?) but by a FL brokerage. The Juniper II is a refinement of the first Juniper I design which was owned and sailed by Chris White before being in to Henk de Velde in 2007 who completed with it a mostly solo , his 6th. I am a Tri devotee, I like CW designs, I like the simplicity of the rig on this boat and I like the seller. What I don't like is the workmanlike rough/unattractive and the cost to improve it. Alternative thoughts. Beautiful Hans Christian 44 cutters are available for less , in most cases they require little and are better equipped. The intent is to keep the boat on a protected anchorage in Crete and the , oftentimes shorthanded. What would you do?

Boat: Chamberlin 11.6 catamaran	tris. Henk De Velde sailed one around the world and liked it a lot. They are true ocean going vessels and this one looks in good nick. Nice boat. Great for a singlehander or couple. Get a bigger though.

Boat: Hedley Nicol Vagabond MK2, 37'	on your comparison though. A Hans Christian and this boat answer very different cruising needs. The speed differences alone will mean different cruising destinations and ranges. I think you need to look carefully at how you plan to use a boat. If the agenda includes lots of marina destinations, a stocked wine cellar and full library with nautical atmosphere the HC44 is the winner as it will cost less to and fit into crowded places easier. At the Juniper will be a lot more comfortable as it won't roll.

	this Tri and the HC are totally different but their brings them close. Run and hide in comfort or tough it out under staysail alone, that is the question. I'm gratified that you remember my preference for stayless rigs and this one has also a unique system where the lazy jacks raise the furled sail and secure it on a vertical position against the , quick and neat and no issues with the battens. He has furled without problems at 40°, amazing! It has one big to raise the mains and do the duty as well, no other muscle is required. It ain't pretty inside though and I'm withholding opinion until I step aboard. First I must speak with CW and get information on the . Did CW inspect the boat during the construction, why isn't he listing it himself etc. Yes, Henk de Velde, quite the sailor, 6 or 7 times around! Respect.

Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug — Yugra [lower-alpha 1] , commonly shortened to Khantia-Mansia, is a federal subject of Russia (an autonomous okrug of Tyumen Oblast ). It has a population of 1,532,243 as of the 2010 Census . [4] Its administrative center is located at Khanty-Mansiysk .

Administrative divisions

Demographics, settlements, ethnic groups, vital statistics, external links.

The peoples native to the region are the Khanty and the Mansi , known collectively as Ob-Ugric peoples , but today the two groups only constitute 2.5% of the region's population. The local languages, Khanty and Mansi , are part of the Ugric branch of the Finno-Ugric language family, and enjoy a special status in the autonomous okrug. Russian remains the only official language.

In 2012, the majority (51%) [7] of the oil produced in Russia came from Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug, giving the region great economic importance in Russia and the world. It borders Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug to the north, Komi Republic to the northwest, Sverdlovsk Oblast to the west, Tyumen Oblast to the south, Tomsk Oblast to the south and southeast and Krasnoyarsk Krai in the east.

The okrug was established on December 10, 1930, as Ostyak-Vogul National Okrug ( Остя́ко-Вогу́льский национа́льный о́круг ). In October 1940, it was renamed the Khanty-Mansi National Okrug . In 1977, along with other national okrugs of the Russian SFSR , it became an autonomous okrug (Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug). In 2003, the word " Yugra " was appended to the official name. [8]

The okrug occupies the central part of the West Siberian Plain .

Principal rivers include the Ob and its tributaries Irtysh and Vatinsky Yogan . There are numerous lakes in the okrug, the largest ones are Numto , Tormemtor , Leushinsky Tuman and Tursuntsky Tuman , among others. [9]

The northeasterly line of equal latitude and longitude traverses the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug.

Population : 1,674,676 (2020); [10] 1,532,243 ( 2010 Russian census ) ; [4] 1,432,817 ( 2002 Census ) ; [11] 1,268,439 ( 1989 Soviet census ) . [12]

Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug has an area of 523,100 km 2 , but the area is sparsely populated. The administrative center is Khanty-Mansiysk , but the largest cities are Surgut , Nizhnevartovsk , and Nefteyugansk .

The Indigenous population ( Khanty , Mansi , Komi , and Nenets ) is only 2.8% of the total population in the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug. The exploitation of natural gas in Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug has attracted immigrants from all over the former Soviet Union. The 2021 Census counted 17 ethnic groups of more than five thousand persons each. The ethnic composition is as follows:

Atlantic 70F

The all new Atlantic 70F (free-standing rig) is an ultra fast and easy to handle 'couples' cruiser. Her owners are very experienced sailors; they circumnavigated in the early 1980s, recently owned an Atlantic 55, and are competitive racers at their yacht club. The A70F is long, lean and light, built in all pre-preg carbon fiber. With the owners' tremendous sailing experience comes specific requirements, bold ideas for the rig and other aspects of the project, and extensive involvement with the design and construction.

This innovative design is being built in Rhode Island.

Launch is scheduled for early spring 2018.

May 28, 2014

First Sail on Atlantic 70-F “Saphira”

The most exciting and nerve wracking days in my work life are the ones when a unique design leaves the dock for her first sail. The most recent of these was the on the all new Atlantic 70 with freestanding masts.

In one word, WOW!

While there are always some glitches and bugs to be worked out on shakedown sails, especially for an entirely new design with an unusual rig, our first sail in Narragansett Bay was exciting and gratifying, and demonstrated Saphira’s speed and ease of handling. Just what her new owners wanted to see!

This design has long been in the works. In 2011 owner Peter Francis outlined his desire to construct a fast and easy to handle cruising cat for himself and his wife Jennifer to sail long distances. Peter was intrigued with the concept of using a freestanding mast in a cat, thinking it could be both easy to handle and safe since the sheet can be eased to quickly depower on any point of sail. He also hoped that a rig with freestanding masts would be very reliable because of the limited number of key components to fail.

I’m well aware of the advantages and disadvantages of freestanding masts; I built my 50’ trimaran Juniper in 1980, and rigged her with two freestanding masts. In the case of the budget- built Juniper, her hollow Douglas Fir masts were not stiff enough to match the stability of the boat. Consequently, when the wind increased, mast bend was excessive and the sail shape would go to hell. However, 35 years later, carbon fiber is much less expensive, and the techniques to design and build freestanding masts have advanced considerably. A freestanding rig can now be a viable solution for a modern cruising cat.

The main issue using a freestanding mast in a cat is where to put it. The mast needs tremendous support at the lower end and most cruising cats would not have the structure to support the mast if it were placed on center line.

A solution is to put one mast in each hull. This concept has been tried before, the 120' monster ‘Team Phillips’ being a notable example, as well as a handful of cruising cats.

To try to make better sense of the pros and cons before embarking on a full blown design/construct project Peter found two Stiletto 23' beach cats for sale. He rigged one with two masts fore and aft on center line and sailed that against the identical cat with the original conventional rig.

After weeks of ‘match racing’, the fore and aft rig was changed to a freestanding side by side, bi-plane configuration and again sailed against the conventional rig. Considerable performance data was collected during this process and ultimately Peter decided that the bi-plane rig offered the advantages he was looking for.

July 2014 marked the start of detailed discussions about the design for a large cruising cat, utilizing what was learned from the Stiletto cat experiments for the rig concept. The design parameters were for a two person cruising cat with easy 300 mile per day capability. Accommodation was to be optimized for a crew of two with occasional guests. Rigorous weight control in design, construction and equipment was a top priority in order to meet the performance targets.

The design process involved many people, each of whom contributed their specific areas of expertise. SDK did the bulk of the structural engineering. Robbie Doyle had a lot of input on the sail plan. The design of the masts was central to the project, and Southern Spars New Zealand applied their considerable engineering experience to the rig. And Peter and Jen Francis, with their extensive cruising experience in both monohulls and cats, oversaw every detail of design and construction with an eye to both ease of handling and ease of maintenance. My job was to wrap up the package in a pleasing shape that would be both comfortable and safe in the ocean.

Boatbuilder Eric Goetz, an old friend of Peter's, built the boat at his shop in Bristol, Rhode Island in all pre-preg carbon composite. As is becoming more and more common, extensive 3D computer modeling was used to CNC cut and mill molds and parts. Large ovens were built to vacuum bag and cure the hulls and other large parts at the required 200 degrees F. This is not your grandfather's boatshop!

After an April launch in the thick of a late winter snow storm, “first sail day” arrived in late May, 2018. It was time to experience the results of so much hard work.

As I said before, WOW!

The wind was quite light but slowly increasing – good conditions for a first sail. By the time the sail was set and the luff and foot tensioned, the wind was hovering around 8 kts. With the engines off, and under only half her working sail area, Saphira sailed happily to windward at 5 kts or so. Steering and tacking seemed fine. So far so good!

After a little more time fussing around with various sailing controls, the port mainsail was hoisted to its working (single reef) position. By then the wind had built to about 12 kts. And with her full working sail, Saphira sailed very happily at 10 kts hard on the wind. Her narrow and light hulls made hardly a ripple in the water. On deck there was an almost eerie quiet without any rigging to whistle in the wind.

The wind instruments on the rotating masts had not yet been corrected for mast rotation so no definitive wind angles were displayed, but by eye and by compass our tacking angle looked very good.

Working our way toward the Newport bridge, the wind picked up a little more and Saphira started ticking off 12 and 13s on the GPS hard on the wind, with probably no more than 15 knots true wind speed.

Tacking is easy - just turn the wheel and push a button to rotate each mast from one tack to the other. All sail handling and reefing can be done from the security of the center cockpit. The completely unobstructed view forward from the cockpit is unique for a sailboat and provides great visibility.

Turning down wind the sheets are eased way off into a simple “barn doors” configuration with booms projecting outboard. Saphira again made spectacular speed in the light conditions. Sailing a dead run at 10 kts with an estimated 14 kts of wind is pretty impressive. And both sails were still single reefed!

All in all it was a spectacular first day out. I can't wait to see her go in stronger winds and waves. Stay tuned.

History of Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug - Yugra

Yugra is the historical homeland of the Ob-Ugric peoples: Khanty, Mansi, Nenets, and Selkup. They were engaged in hunting, fishing, cattle breeding. After the Turkic peoples pushed them from south to north, these peoples had to apply their skills in more severe conditions. It is at this new location Ugrians began to domesticate deer.

In the first half of the second millennium AD, the main features of the material and spiritual culture of Khanty, Mansi and forest Nenets were formed. It is believed that since then they have not undergone major changes. Since the second half of the 13th century, a new factor in the development of the region was its entry into the Golden Horde.

At the end of the 14th century, the collapse of the Golden Horde led to the emergence of a separate Tyumen Khanate. In 1495, the Siberian Khanate appeared. At that time the basic principles of political, administrative and socio-economic organization of this territory were developed. The region was called Ugra or Yugra.

More historical facts…

The region became part of Russia in the end of the 16th century. From the middle of the 18th century, this region became a place of exile for criminals. December 10, 1930, Ostyako-Vogul national okrug was formed with the center in the settlement of Samarovo. Construction of a new center began 5 km away from it. In February 1932, the new center of the region was named Ostyako-Vogulsk.

In 1934, the first steps to find oil and natural gas in the region were taken. October 23, 1940, Ostyko-Vogul national okrug was renamed Khanty-Mansi national okrug and Ostyko-Vogulsk was renamed Khanty-Mansiysk. August 14, 1944, the region became part of Tyumen Oblast. On January 27, 1950, Khanty-Mansiysk became a city.

On September 21, 1953, in Berezovo, the first natural gas in Western Siberia was produced. On June 23, 1960, the first oil in Western Siberia was discovered near Shaim. This was followed by the discovery of many other oil and natural gas fields. Along with the industrial exploitation of oil and gas fields, the timber industry developed rapidly.

By the end of the 20th century, under the influence of demographic and socio-economic developments the Khanty-Mansi region in fact lost its national basis. On July 25, 2003, Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug was renamed Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug - Yugra.

Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug - Yugra - Features

The name of the region is associated with the self-names of the two main groups of northern peoples - Khanty and Mansi. In the Middle Ages, the word “Yugra” was used to refer to peoples and lands beyond the Northern Urals.

This region, located in the middle of Russia, occupies the central part of the West Siberian Plain. Its territory stretches from west to east for almost 1,400 km, from north to south for 900 km. The area of the region is comparable to France or Ukraine.

The climate is temperate continental characterized by rapid change of weather especially in spring and autumn. Winters are long, snowy and cold with frosts below minus 30 degrees Celsius. Summers are short and warm. From the west this region is protected by the Ural mountains, from the north it is open to cold arctic air.

The highest points of the region are Mount Narodnaya (1,895 m) in the Polar Urals and Mount Pedy (1,010 m) in the Northern Urals. Two major rivers flow in Khanty-Mansi autonomous okrug: the Ob (3,650 km) and its tributary the Irtysh (3,580 km). About 30% of the territory is covered by swamps. There are more than 300,000 lakes surrounded by marshes and forests.

The largest cities of Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug - Yugra are Surgut (396,000), Nizhnevartovsk (280,800), Nefteyugansk (128,700), Khanty-Mansiysk (106,000), Kogalym (69,200), Nyagan (58,500). Today, only about 32,000 people are representatives of indigenous peoples: Khanty, Mansi and Nenets. Half of them live in the traditional way.

This region is very rich in oil and natural gas. The largest oil and natural gas fields are Samotlorskoye, Fedorovskoye, Mamontovskoye, Priobskoye. There are also deposits of gold, coal, iron ore, copper, zinc, lead and other mineral resources.

The climate is not favorable for agriculture. Most of the agricultural products and foodstuffs is brought from other Russian regions. Waterways and railways are the main shipping ways. The total length of the pipeline network is 107,000 km.
