The Israel Yacht Club (IYC) successfully held its 22nd sailing regatta, which included a participation of 40 yachts, starting from Haifa of Israel and with intermediate stations such as the island of Kastelorizo, Rhodes and completing at the Pedi Marina of Symi island. It is worth noting that this rally took place in the previous 20 years on the shores of Turkey. This event is of great importance for the promotion of our country with the reception of foreign sailing yachts on the islands of the Aegean, gaining publicity and prestige as we already host the International Aegean Sailing Rally, one of the oldest and most spectacular sailing events in the Greek vicinity.
