TAYK Burgan Leasing International Istanbul Cup races, sponsored by Burgan Leasing, took place in Caddebostan on 11-12 May 2019.
The fifth International Istanbul Cup, which was held on May 11-12, 2019 with the main sponsorship of Burgan Leasing and organization of TAYK, was completed on the Caddebostan course. 40 boats and around 250 racers participated in the races that were full of struggle and adventure. After the second day races held on Sunday, the finalists received their awards at the Kalamış Marina and lifted their cups with joy.
Speaking at the award ceremony, Burgan Leasing General Manager Cüneyt Akpınar said, “As Burgan Leasing, we are very happy to be the main sponsor and a part of the International Istanbul Cup races, which have become a tradition. While we produce solutions for the needs of those who want to own a boat with boat leasing, we are also happy that our employees have adopted our passion for the sea and our interest in sailing. Believing that skills such as leadership, team spirit and quick decision-making can be strengthened with sailing, we founded the Burgan Sailing Team five years ago. Thus, we combined our passion for the sea with our corporate culture. The fact that our team has successfully represented our institution in the races it has participated in so far and today is the best proof of this. I wholeheartedly congratulate all the competitors who made us experience two days full of sailing and thank everyone who contributed to the organization.”
Cahit Üren, General Manager of the Turkish Offshore Racing Club, thanked the participating boat owners and sponsoring institutions and said, “We had a wonderful weekend full of excitement, we believe that the International Istanbul Cup will become a much bigger race in the future with many foreign yachtsmen participating.”
