The 7th Arkas Aegean Link Regatta has started. The competition, which will include over 400 sailors on 38 boats for six days of enjoyment on land and at sea, began with an opening cocktail hosted by Cesme Marina Yacht Club.
For the seventh year in a row, Arkas Aegean Link Regatta, which is Cesme’straditional and international competition, is ready to witness the dance of yachts with the wind. Organized by Arkas, the Turkish Sailing Federation, EAYK (Aegean Offshore Yacht Club), and Cesme Marina, the competition will be held with 38 boats this year from August 22 to 27, with the goal of expanding sailing in Türkiye and making the sport more popular in Cesme.
The principal sponsor of this year’s Arkas Aegean Link Regatta is Arkas Line, the shipping company of Arkas. As in the previous year, FAMM Urla, one of FD Architecture’s most stunning realizations of ecological and sustainable architecture, is also making a contribution to the race.
The first day of the race also coincides with a special day. Sailors come together to celebrate freedom and adventure on August 23rd, Ride Like the Wind Day. This special day invites people to watch the harmony of the sea and the wind in Cesme, which is famous for its wind.
The Arkas Aegean Link Regatta winner will keep the prize for a year. In the next race a year later, the cup will be awarded to the new champion. The boat that triumphs in the competition five years in a row will hold the prize in perpetuity.
