We have the honour to introduce you the 19th Bodrum Cup International Wooden Yacht Regatta. The organization will took place between 24. and 28. of October 2007 for the 19th time, under organization of Era Bodrum Sailing Club, Turkish Sailing Federation, Mediterranean Sailing Union and Municipality of Bodrum. The primary intention is to promote interest and skill in sailing among the captains and crews of Bodrum's charter fleet. It is also a celebration of the ending of each year's cruising season, a means to bring together in a friendly encounter charter yachts that normally cruise on their own. This is a fun event now entering its 18th year, held every third week in October.
Another purpose is to extend the cruising season, since passengers are welcome, to participate aboard competing yachts. The Bodrum Cup takes place in official annual program of Turkish Sailing Federation and Mediterranean Sailing Union (MSU). Every year, around 100 yachts 10 % of which are of foreign flags participate in The Bodrum Cup. Also, many yachts host foreign individuals from mostly European Union countries as charterers, around 1/3 of the whole community is composed of foreign participants and also foreign press members. Around a total of 1000 participants take place in the organization.
Race participants apply in mainly 3 classes, divided by sub-categories:
A) Traditional wooden sailing yachts: Wooden yachts of traditional design of heavy displacement built with solid-planking-on-frames and intended primarily for cruising purposes.
B) Classic wooden yachts: In general yachts known as classic in international terminology (for example: Colin Archer, Swan etc.)
C) Guest yachts: All yachts of non-wooden construction that wish to participate in the regatta.
The highest award is the BODRUM CUP, presented to the yacht with the least penalty points among all yachts competing in all the categories of the traditional yacht classification.
The Bodrum Cup Regatta Pennant is awarded to the winner of the Bodrum Cup. The yacht winning the Bodrum Cup three times is awarded the permanent possession of the pennant.
Further to these prizes there are category awards, first finish prizes and prizes awarded by municipalities involved.
We will be pleased to see you in The Bodrum Cup, hope to meet you in October 2008
