The main goal of the Cyprus Coastal Regatta is to strengthen local sailing, while also laying the groundwork for a future international event. In its initial phase, the Regatta is primarily targeting local sailors, but is seen as evolving into a globally-recognised event starting from Latchi and ending in Famagusta District, covering the island’s entire free coastline. The Cyprus Coastal Regatta is not just a top-tier sailing event, but also a significant step toward enhancing cooperation between marinas and promoting Cyprus as a premier sailing destination.
