The 17th “Channel Regatta” jointly organized by Marmaris International Yacht Sport Club and Offshore Yachting Club of Rhodes will take place in Marmaris on September 13-14-15, 2024. The friendship with Offshore Yachting Club of Rhodes that goes back many years has led to the start of such a race. Sailors living on both sides of the Aegean Sea laid the foundations of this race with the idea of “Why don’t we race together in our common sea?” The slogan of the race was “ Sailing Together ”.

In the early days, if the race started in Marmaris, it would end in Rhodes, and if it started in Rhodes, it would end in Marmaris. Due to changing economic and social conditions, it was decided to alternate the race in Rhodes one year and Marmaris the next. We have full faith that this race, which will be held for the 17th time this year, will contribute to the strengthening of the friendship that has developed on both sides of the Aegean. Approximately 25 boats and 250 sailors are expected to participate in the races. We wish all racers a clear bow and a favorable wind.
