Abstract
The article presents a study of the predominant way of spatial representation by sailing athletes in the process of distance racing in natural conditions. It was revealed that allocentric spatial representations (ASP) prevail in sailing athletes in the whole sample (n=351), accounting for 79% of the total number. At the same time, egocentric spatial representations (ESP) in athletes make up 21%. The analysis of the distribution of spatial representations in athletes according to the level of sport qualification allowed us to identify a tendency of increasing the share of allocentric spatial representations with increasing sport grade, while the share of ESP decreases. The results of the study allow us to state that professional yachtsmen more often use ASP or switch between ASP and ESP, while novice yachtsmen, as a rule, use ESP.
