#AEGEAN600 welcomes NISSOS @nissosbeer our new Official Supporter. 🙏

NISSOS in Greek means “island”. NISSOS was born in the Cyclades and is a child of the Aegean. It is happiest in the company of friends enjoying the sun’s warm caress on long summer afternoons.But it is equally at home in cool shade, against a backdrop of dazzling white-washed houses under clear blue skies. ☀️ 💙🇬🇷

HELMEPA AND HORC ARE CHARTING THE ENVIRONMENTAL MA

HELMEPA AND HORC ARE CHARTING THE ENVIRONMENTAL MAP OF OFFSHORE SAILING RACES, BASED ON AEGEAN 600 YACHT RACE.

HELMEPA @helmepa_savetheseas is known for its huge contribution to protecting the marine environment, while for years, HELMEPA has been cooperating with HORC @hellenic_offshore_racing_club and together they have completed a series of environmental actions. In 2020 and 2021, HELMEPA is taking one step even further by supporting the new offshore race, AEGEAN 600, which has been created by HORC, as it firmly believes that this new idea will promote Greece throughout the world and through it will serve its statutory purpose which is based on pollution prevention, Safety at Sea and environmental awareness.

Thus, HELMEPA and HORC will once again join forces to create and push forward significant environmental actions as well as seminars targeted to the participants, volunteers and employees involved in organizing the race, to teach them the actions they need to take in the future to protect the environment.

The race across the Aegean Sea will now take place from July 4 to July 10, without any stops. The turning points will be islands such as Milos, Santorini, Kasos, Karpathos, Rhodes, Kos, Kalymnos, Patmos, Mykonos, Yaros and Kea and the race will begin and end at Cape Sounion.

The actions that have been planned are based around the organization’s point of reference, which is Olympic Marine @olympic.marine.official in Lavrion, an Associate Member of HELMEPA.” The yachts, crews and support teams will be lodged around the greater Lavrion area and the purpose of the actions, in addition to the specific activities, is to provide seminars that will impart knowledge to the attendees in a manner that is designed to provide them with the faith and knowledge to continue to protect the environment in the future.

FIRST-EVER ORC DH EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIP OPEN FOR ENTRIES ✍️ ⛵ 🤩

The Hellenic Offshore Racing Club (HORC) @hellenic_offshore_racing_club and the Offshore Racing Congress (ORC) @orcsailing are pleased to announce that the entry process is now open for the first-ever ORC Double Handed European Championship to be held over 2-10 July 2021. The event is being held concurrently with the AEGEAN 600 @aegean600, a non-stop 600-mile full-crew race tour of the Aegean Sea that also starts and ends in Sounio.

The ORC DH Europeans is a new event in the portfolio of annual ORC World and European championships, one that harnesses the growing enthusiasm for Double Handed sailing following the proposal by World Sailing for this to be included as a mixed gender two-person offshore keelboat event in the Olympic program for the 2024 Games in Paris.

The regatta will be based at the Olympic Marine @olympic_marine , gateway to the Aegean Sea, 70 km southeast from central Athens and just north of Cape Sounion. The format consists of a short Coastal Race and a Long Offshore Race worth 1.0 and 1.5 points, respectively, with registrations and inspections starting on Friday, 2 July and concluding on Sunday, 4 July before the Coastal Race start on Monday, 5 July. The intended length of this race is 10-12 hours on a course set in the Saronikos Gulf and the Cyclades islands.

After a recovery day on Tuesday, racing will resume on Wednesday, 7 July with the Long Offshore Race of 60-72 hours duration in the same course area in the Aegean. Awards will be given in a Closing Ceremony held on Saturday, 10 July.

HORC @hellenic_offshore_racing_club was awarded the 2021 ORC DOUBLE HANDED EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIP.

The Offshore Racing Congress (ORC) @orcsailing awarded the 2021 ORC Double Handed European Championship to the Hellenic Offshore Racing Club.

This is the first European Double Handed Championship to be organized by ORC, after the decision of World Sailing @worldsailingofficial to include the mixed two-person offshore keelboat event in the Olympic program.

The event will be held from 4-10 July 2021, alongside the international sailing race "AEGEAN 600" @aegean600 (non-stop 600 mile race) organized by HORC on the same dates and the conduct of which for 2020 was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

A key role in the selection of HORC has been its long history in holding world championships and the excellent preparation and presentation.

Hellenic Offshore Racing Club is in close collaboration with the ORC Offshore Classes and Events Committee regarding the format to be decided for the initial ORC Double Handed European Championship. Further details will be issued later this month.
