Five days of training and two racing days on the superbolide and the undisputed leader of the most famous Turkish regattas Swan 42 “Lagertha".

The Marmaris Winter Trophy is a weekend regatta. On Friday, registration, briefing of the captains and the opening party. On Saturday and Sunday, there are races in the bay, coastal races, and at the end there is a solemn awarding ceremony for the winners.

The Winter Trophy is a good opportunity to evaluate rivals and get to know domestic yachting enthusiasts and professionals. Besides compatriots and Turkish yachtsmen, Trophy participants from Germany, Holland, Romania and other countries are not uncommon.

This week we will teach you all the secret words so that you no longer get lost when talking to experienced racers. You will never confuse "kiwi drop" with kiwi fresh again)! But seriously, the racing training program is very intense (it may vary slightly depending on the experience and knowledge of the crew):
