Friendly Regatta in Turkey, Göcek 2021.

About the event

 In the second week of May we go to the regatta in the Aegean Sea. Every morning we are waiting for the intrigue of the sailing race, work in a well-coordinated team, where each of us is an indispensable member of the crew. 

At the end of our journey, three of the best teams will receive great prizes! We always pay special attention to safety. We love excitement, but safety and yachting are our credo.  

 Races will be held in the morning, and the afternoon we will devote to acquaintance, sea and coastal activities. We are waiting for picnics, parties on the shore, restaurants and a walk through the ancient Greek city (we are not mistaken, we will reach Kalkan, and it was built by the Greeks, which reflected on its architecture). But that's not all! In addition to yachting competitions, we will have fun and soulful time in the evenings. We are sure that the most valuable thing is communication with interesting people, and there will be many of them on 9 crews! To the selection of each participant of the race, we, according to the established tradition, approach responsibly. Each of our yachtsmen is part of the team, he has similar interests, cool hobbies, a positive attitude and an active life position. Otherwise, it would be difficult on the yacht. Join us! No special skills are required, our captains will teach everything in the process and in training. There are seats in prefabricated crews. The main thing is desire and positivity! HOW DO WE LIVE?

All participants live on boats in comfortable double cabins. 5 cabins have 3 bathrooms with shower and hot water (depending on the model of the boat). Each boat has its own kitchen with everything you need.  

HOW IS FOOD ORGANIZED?

Breakfast and lunches are prepared on yachts together or in turn, each crew on their own boat. Dinners are usually at restaurants on the beach. Products are purchased from the ship's cash register. The cash register is formed by the crew, usually enough from 50 to 80 euros per week per person. Restaurants and alcohol are not included in the cash register 

SAFETY AND HEALTH

We recommend extending your usual travel insurance for “active water recreation.” The first aid kit on the yacht will be quite voluminous, but if you have special prescriptions, then take the necessary medicines with you. It is also important to carefully fill out a medical questionnaire for each participant (we send it when booking).

Interesting story at this place, we will walk and try to imagine.
