Details
For the first time in the event’s history, the race’s start will be initiated by a Minister of Sports from the Cyclades. Deputy Minister Giannis Vroutsis will be present at the starting line to signal the commencement of the sailing race. He highlighted the historic significance of the Andros race and the unique challenges it poses to sailors, especially navigating through the narrow passages of Cape Kafireas. The race has gained a reputation as “the toughest race,” showcasing the skill, courage, and endurance of the sailors. The 56th International Sailing Race of Andros includes three courses, one from Vouliagmeni to Andros and two others with starting points at the beautiful Chora of Andros. For the latter two, there will be a live streaming broadcast, a first for open-sea racing in Greece.

Organizer
The Yacht Club of Greece (YCG) is the leading yachting institution in the country, established in 1933 by a group of prominent Athenians, with an aim to promote sailing and yacht racing in Greece and to develop love and respect for the sea and nautical traditions. By 1940, and under the patronage and Admiralty of the Greek Royal Family (King George II, King Paul and King Constantine II, all keen yachtsmen in their own right) the club, as ROYAL YACHT CLUB OF GREECE (until 1973), became the most important yacht club in the country and currently continues its successful operations under the patronage of the President of the Hellenic Republic.
