Chanel Regatta 2008, the third international offshore sailing race will be hosted in the crystal
clear blue waters of the Aegean by the Marmaris International Yacht Club and the Offshore
Yachting Club of Rhodes. The successful organization of previous years guarantees an even
better race for this year.
Our ambition is that such race rises to be an important sailing event for the entire region of the
Mediterranean. Our aim is to revive a historic course connecting the Asia Minor coasts to the
islands of the Aegean Sea.
Apart from the long historical and cultural tradition this effort of ours will be capitalizing upon
the optimal sailing conditions this area has been benefiting from, yet another gracious gift of
Mother Nature to the blessed Mediterranean.
Relying on the generous sponsorship, of various agencies and authorities on both sides of the
channel, the organizing committee and the members of both clubs, kindly invite you to
participate and experience unique moments, by sailing together.
