November '06
4th of Autumn regatta will be held on 6-10 November 2006.
G��ek Yacht Club was founded in 1999 in G��ek town under the name of G��ek Yacht Specialization Club Association. It still operates as a part of Turkish Sailing Federation. The club organizes regattas and sailing courses in order to train the future yachtsmen and to increase the interest in sailing. As a consequence of the support from Port G��ek Marina, the club has now got a building and a clubhouse.
Our club has been supporting the young sailors by participating in national and regional races in previous years, and has also carried out the annual Autumn Regatta successfully. G��ek Yacht Club has started its first courses with the support of P?nar S�t Company with 6 optimists in 2001. Since the courses started about 200 kids have had chance to meet with the sports of sailing during the trainings in summer.
Sailing School
G��ek Yacht Club organizes Optimist Sailing Courses for the children of the region for the main purposes of training the children that will be future?? s local sailors, and to provide a progress in yachting and to make it wide-spread.
We need financial sources to meet the requests and to give a better service in future. The fees obtained from the courses and the regattas are again transferred to the Optimist part of our club.
2005 summer Optimist courses of G��ek Yacht Club has ended. 24 trainee at the ages of 6-15 participated in our course which was organized to be 4 seasons. In the first 2 days of the course, the trainees were taught the basic parts of yachting and sailing by our club?? s trainer Ali Osman Ayan. The trainees learned to sail with Optimist dinghies during their 10 days?? courses. The trainees who attended the following courses learned more about sailing with Optimist dinghies.
At the end of the course, with the participation of the parents and the contributions of our club, small celebrations have been made and certificates our club had prepared were given to the trainees for their participation. Our club decided to give licenses to 5 trainees. Below mentioned trainees of our club will continue their training during the year in our licensed sailing team. In the future, they will represent our club in regattas with other licensed yachtsmen of our club.
