Sjajan dan jedrenja obilježio je uspješan završetak 19. Punta Faro kupa, organiziranog s uobičajenim entuzijazmom od strane Yacht Cluba Lignano. Bura od 12-15 čvorova i vedro sunčano vrijeme pratili su regatu, koja se odvijala na trokutastoj ruti s fiksnim točkama.

Po prvi put, Memorijalni trofej Fabio Barison dodijeljen je vodećem brodu u najvećoj klasi, što je posebno priznanje koje je dodatno povećalo prestiž natjecanja i s ljubavlju odalo počast nekome tko nikada nije propustio naše regate.

Pobjednici:

• Klasa Alfa: Prvo mjesto osvojio je First 40.7, Twenty One, pod vodstvom Sandra Cassandra (Yacht Club Lignano), s mladim jedriličarima iz tima Ilca YCLignano na brodu. Na drugom mjestu završio je Dufour 40 Frida, pod kormilom Michelea Albierija (CVAM).

• Klasa Bravo: X37 White Sharx, pod vodstvom Giacoma Sangallija (CV Conegliano), osvojio je Barison trofej. Na drugom mjestu završio je C32 pod vodstvom Alessandra Comuzzija, dok je treće mjesto pripalo brodu Italia Yacht 9.98 Alzavola, pod vodstvom Paola Donadona (YC Cûpa).

• Klasa Charlie: Pobjedu je odnio Elan 333 Aylin (Tiliaventum). Rotarijanci na brodu Swan 371 Cidrolin, pod kormilom Manfreda De Paolisa, zauzeli su drugo mjesto, dok je treće mjesto u Klasi Alfa osvojio Bavaria 44 Mara.

Čestitke svim sudionicima na nezaboravnom danu jedrenja i sporta!

Predsjednik Stefano La Bella:

“Radujemo se što ćemo vas dočekati na 35. Jesenskom prvenstvu lagune, koje započinje prvom utrkom u nedjelju, 10. studenog, a nastavlja se sljedeće dvije nedjelje, s proslavom na zatvaranju u subotu, 30. studenog. Kao i uvijek, nudimo opciju prvenstva ‘Race’ za klase Open i ORC (s prilagodbom vremena prema brodovima i mjernim certifikatima), kao i prvenstvo White Sails Cruising (real-time bodovanje), koje je manje zahtjevno, ali ništa manje zanimljivo, kako bismo zajedno zaključili sezonu 2024.”

U subotu, 30. studenoga, završilo je još jedno uzbudljivo izdanje Jesenskog prvenstva lagune i rekreativnog jedrenja, u organizaciji Yacht Club Lignano. Tijekom četiri dana održano je ukupno pet utrka, a završni dan donio je savršene uvjete: sunčano vrijeme, vedro nebo i sjeveroistočni vjetar od 10 do 15 čvorova koji su omogućili uživanje i konkurentno jedrenje.

Zahvaljujući primjeni odbacivanja rezultata, konačni su poretci definirani te su proglašeni pobjednici u raznim klasama i kategorijama.

Pobjednici po klasama:

Jesensko prvenstvo rekreativnog jedrenja: Birbone, Alzavola, Città di Fiume 2, Ariella.

ORC Grupa 1:

• Regatna podjela: Tasmania.

• Krstaška podjela: Nakhla.

ORC Grupa 2:

• Krstaška podjela: Take Five Jr. tijesno je pobijedio Barramundija s razlikom od samo 0,5 bodova.

• Regatna podjela: C-32 zadržao je prednost ispred Matrixa.

Open klasa: Pobjede su odnijeli Brava, Tasmania, Take Five Jr., C-32 i Athena.

Nakon utrka uslijedila je svečana dodjela nagrada za zvijezde prvenstva, koju je pratila tradicionalna završna zabava. Bio je to prijateljski događaj s pečenim divljim svinjama, lutrijom s nagradama i živahnom zabavom uz plesača koji je uljepšao večer.

Jesensko prvenstvo lagune označilo je prikladan završetak žive sezone 2024. godine. Godina je bila ispunjena uzbudljivim regatama, ljetnim tečajevima jedrenja za mlade i lokalne škole, treninzima i utrkama za natjecateljske ekipe te razvojnim prilikama za mlade instruktore. Sve to omogućeno je zahvaljujući neprocjenjivoj podršci volontera, članova kluba i sponzora Yacht Club Lignano. Bez njihove predanosti, ništa od ovoga ne bi bilo moguće!

Posebne zahvale idu i lokalnim vlastima koje su prisustvovale dodjeli nagrada te na razne načine nastavljaju podržavati aktivnosti kluba.

Na kraju, iskrena zahvala svim sudionicima i članovima obitelji Yacht Club Lignano što su bili dio ovog nevjerojatnog putovanja.

Veselimo se idućoj sezoni, gdje ćemo ponovno podijeliti našu strast prema jedrenju i moru!

U partnerstvu s Dubai Holdingom, D-Marin će upravljati novom marinom inspiriranom Mediteranom koja će biti otvorena u Dubaiju: Port De La Mer. Ova suvremena marina peta je D-Marin marina u Dubaiju, učvršćujući poziciju Grupe kao međunarodne destinacije za vlasnike luksuznih jahti.

The prestigious 22nd Göcek Autumn Race Week and Atatürk Cup, organized by the Göcek Yacht Club, has successfully brought together an impressive international fleet of sailing enthusiasts off the stunning coast of Fethiye, Muğla.

This year's event showcased remarkable participation with 763 sailors from 17 countries competing aboard 90 vessels, marking it as one of the most diverse editions in the event's history.

The competitive spirit remained high as sailors navigated the challenging geographical course, demonstrating exceptional seamanship and tactical prowess. The competition, set against the backdrop of D-Marin Göcek's pristine waters, featured six races over four exciting days of sailing.

The event has once again reinforced D-Marin Göcek's position as a leading Mediterranean sailing venue, bringing together the international sailing community in a celebration of maritime sport and cultural exchange. This prestigious regatta not only highlights the region's perfect sailing conditions but also contributes significantly to the local maritime tourism sector.

D-Marin is proud to announce that its three Turkish marinas have been honoured with five prestigious awards at the Abu Dhabi Maritime Awards, which recognise excellence in marinas across the Middle East and Turkey.

Oliver Dörschuck, CEO of D-Marin, commented: “These awards highlight the exceptional dedication and expertise of our teams at Turgutreis, Göcek, and Didim. Under the leadership of Can Akaltan, Türkiye Regional Operations Director, and through the outstanding contributions of Bora Ergezgin, Marina Manager at D-Marin Göcek, and Mustafa Gün, Marina Manager at D-Marin Turgutreis, we continue to advance innovation, sustainability, and customer excellence. My heartfelt congratulations to the entire team in Turkey for their hard work and passion, which set new benchmarks in marina management. This recognition inspires us to keep raising the bar for our customers, communities, and the environment.”

D-Marin received the top three awards in the ‘Outstanding Marina’ category. Turgutreis secured the gold award for the second consecutive year, while D-Marin Göcek received silver and D-Marin Didim earned the bronze award.

The Outstanding Marina Award recognises exceptional performance and continuous improvement through new ideas and technology to enhance operations and customer experience. The judges particularly praised D-Marin for its ability to deliver outstanding customer interactions, understand customer needs, and foster loyalty through feedback. They also commended D-Marin for its exemplary health and safety practices alongside its effective staff development initiatives.

Additionally, D-Marin Göcek won gold in the ‘Customer Experience’ category, while D-Marin Didim secured gold for ‘Sustainability’, in recognition of its strong environmental efforts and state-of-the-art facilities.

Each of the marinas underwent a rigorous evaluation process, with representatives undergoing over three hours of questioning from a panel of nine jurors and 16 assessors, all from prestigious organisations and regulatory bodies.

We are thrilled to announce that we have been awarded a 2024 International Gold Green Apple Environment Award for our innovative solar panel project. This project, currently underway across our network, including a successful completion in Turkiye, exemplifies our unwavering commitment to sustainability.

By harnessing the power of the sun, we are not only reducing our carbon footprint but also leading the yachting industry towards a greener future. This prestigious award recognizes our efforts to align with Science-Based Targets and drive sustainable change.

Sustainability is more than just a goal; it's a core value at D-Marin. We are dedicated to implementing energy-efficient practices, engaging stakeholders in green initiatives, and achieving long-term environmental excellence.

Together, let's shape a brighter, greener future for the yachting industry.

As some European countries re-set restrictions to avoid another Covid-19 breakthrough, super-yacht owners have begun to abandon some of their traditional berths, Bloomberg reports. Apart from Turkey, which rich yacht owners consider a safe haven for Covid-19, Croatia and Greece are among the safest countries, recording an increasing number of super-yacht arrivals. The largest vessels in Croatia at the moment are Roman Abramovich's 163-meter-long yacht Eclipse, which is also the fourth-longest yacht in the world. Also on the Croatian coast is currently the 116-meter-long yacht Ulysses, owned by New Zealand's richest man, Graeme Hart, while at the same time on the other side of the Mediterranean, especially in Spain, the largest decline in the number of superyachts has been recorded.

D-Marin, aiming to strengthen children’s ties with the sea from early ages, and the Turkish Marine Environment Protection Association (TURMEPA), working relentlessly towards protecting the Turkish marine environment, particularly the seas for future generations, collaborated for the third time in combining sea learning with technology. Supported by Muğla Provincial Directorate of National Education, firstly schoolteachers will receive a series of training within “I protect the seas with STEAM” project. Then they will encourage their pupils to embrace and protect the seas, help them think like a scientist, improve their understanding of nature, and create innovative ideas and projects by using innovative technology. The project also aims to teach children to embrace not only the nature, but all living creatures and take responsibility to protect them. With the help of the project, teachers will also be able to develop their mentoring skills and guide their students more effectively. In 2020, students produced many successful projects to tackle local environmental issues. This year, secondary school teachers will again pass the knowledge they have received from STEAM training workshops to their pupils to enable them to create more successful projects. STEAM training workshops are designed in line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and cover Marine Ecosystems, Marine Pollution, Zero Waste and Plastic Waste subjects. As part of the project, students will develop projects by using technology and the 21st century skills.

Teacher selection process will be conducted by the Provincial Directorate of National Education in Muğla where D-Marin Turgutreis and Gocek marinas are also operating. In its seventh year, the STEAM training workshops will take place between 6th and 10th September in the Science and Arts Centre (BILSEM) where ten schoolteachers get training. During 5 days of training, ERTEV (Ermetal Technological Education Association) will teach teachers Innovation, 3D Design, Production Skills, Arduino Coding and Prototyping.

During the project, students will improve their innovative and rational thinking, questioning, solution-oriented thinking, exploratory competence and sharing skills by the special mentoring they receive from their teachers and training specialists. They will create innovative projects and produce solutions that will help keep our seas clean. Whilst doing that, they will have to make research about the problems in the sea and question the devastating impact of these problems on all ecosystems, primarily on marine life.
