J/70 Tenzor International Cup

The second leg of the winter regatta series took place in Aspat Bay in the Aegean Sea.
Near Bodrum, an exhilarating showdown unfolded between the strongest teams from Russia and Turkey in the J/70 class. Over three competitive days and nine intense races across two locations with varying wind conditions, the sailors were pushed to their limits!  Victory in the second stage of the series went to the Tenzor Team, led by Andrey Pushkin. Russian Bogatyrs, helmed by Igor Rytov, claimed second place, while Atoll Sailing Team (Anatoly Arnautov) and Dolce Vita (Inna Balashova) finished tied with 29 points each. Both teams secured two race wins during this stage, but Dolce Vita's stronger record of top-three finishes earned them the third-place podium spot.  In the amateur "Corinthian" division, the battle for the top position remained thrilling until the very end of the regatta. For the first two racing days, the Turkish crew  Orient Express, led by Arif Gurdenli, trailed behind the Russian team  O1 Properties, skippered by Petr Bukin. However, in the final races on the third day, the Turkish team managed to pull ahead and secure victory. O1 Properties  finished second, while  Ayaz JR  claimed third place.
