Background Story : 

The biggest Classic Yacht Race in Greece was organized by the Yacht Club of Greece between 18-21 June 2015, with a record participation and spectacular races at the “Bogazi” in Spetses, with a view of the imposing building of the Poseidonion Grand Hotel and with the support of Spetses Yacht Club.

75 yachts, divided into three categories (classic boats, schooners and lateens) participated in a 3-day unique race. For the first time in the history of the race the number of participants in the classic boats category exceeded that of all the others. A day earlier than the official start of the Spetses Classic Yacht Regatta 2015 gave pairs of boats the opportunity to compete in a fun race, the so-called Challenge Race that also acted as a training session. Beautiful classic boats travelled from every corner of Greece, such as Corfu, Syros, Crete, Paros, as well as from abroad, travelling all the way from France, Italy and Cyprus. Among the participating boats was the imposing Aello, skippered by Stefanos Chandakas which belongs to the founder of the Yacht Club of Greece, Antonis Benakis and took part in the race for the first time. Furthermore, Nikos Lykiardopoulos’ Savannah came all the way from Great Britain in order to defend her last year’s title. The fortunate spectators had the opportunity to watch the races at a close distance from the sea, which is what makes Spetses a unique race arena!

The schooner and lateen categories were highly competitive and at the same time very important, since they promote the Greek seamanship and tradition in the art of wooden shipbuilding. Ag. Giorgis skippered by Panayiotis Mathios and Stratis skippered by Stratis Andreadis, have been built in the historic shipyards of Spetses!
