About the Bodrum CupThe Bodrum Cup is an annual yacht regatta organized by the ERA Bodrum Sailing Club, with its primary intention to promote interest and skill in sailing among the captains and crews of Bodrum’s charter fleet. This event has been held in Bodrum on the third week in October every year since 1989 and brings together the usually solitary cruising yachts to celebrate the end of the year’s cruising season in some friendly competition. The competing yachts have to be of traditional wooden manufacture, non-wooden yachts being allowed to participate in a non-competitive capacity. The intention is to promote gulets and improve the technology used to manufacture them to make them better suited to sailing. Many privately owned yachts, Turkish or of foreign flag are also welcome to compete and at the end of each day all the yachts anchor together to have fun and trade ‘tall stories’ as is the nature of sailors. The spirit of the event has seen the Bodrum Cup dubbed as an international yacht festival and the magnificent vista of a horizon filled with the sails of the majestic wooden yacht fleet a sight to be savored.
