For the 8th consecutive time the Posidonia Cup will launch Posidonia week on Friday 3 June 2016 in Faliron Bay. Established as the flagship event of the Posidonia sporting programme and one of the biggest sailing events in Greek waters, the Posidonia Cup Yacht Race has become a firm fixture on the global shipping agenda.

A record 58 yachts and over 500 crew members were the ingredients of the actionpacked Posidonia Cup 2014 sailing race, which culminated in a prestigious award ceremony at the picturesque Vouliagmeni Lake, bringing professional sailors, shipping executives and experienced seamen together and creating the unique Posidonia atmosphere. The challenging weather conditions stimulated both enthusiasm and suspense and united the global shipping family in a day full of fun, fellowship and adventure!

P

Posidonia exhibitors and all members of the international shipping community are invited to join the race, either with their own private yacht or with those provided by the co-organisers, the Hellenic Offshore Racing Club (HORC).
