NEW MARINA ENTRY POINT PLAN FOR KARPAZ RESORT

Karpaz Bay Resort’s marina is set to become a new entry point for visitors to North Cyprus.
The 200 million Yeni Erenkoy project’s first stage will be concluded with the construction of the 300-berth Karpaz Gate Marina. That should be in 2011 if negotiations with the Government go smoothly.
The marina, which is being built by maritime construction company Sea-Alliance, will have customs, duty-free shops and immigration facilities to allow visitors on yachts to enter the island through the Karpaz, rather than having to use the ports of Gazi Magusa and Girne.
The Karpaz Gate Marina is being built on the concept of a “yacht hotel” and its inner basin will contain six floating pontoons.
The marina is designed for yachts ranging between seven metres and 65 metres long. Water and electricity facilities will be provided at each berth and yachts will also be able to refuel.
There will also be a Marina House which will include offices, a yacht club, health club, swimming pool, laundry services, restaurant, ship chandlery and nightclub.
A dry dock with a travel lift for up to 150 tons will also be present in the marina for repair and maintenance purposes. The marina’s planned dry dock will be one of the biggest in the eastern Mediterranean.
Once the first stage, which is the marina, is completed the construction of two modern hotels, a holiday village and landscaping will begin.

NORTH CYPRUS YACHT CLUB FOUNDED

The Sailing, Motor and Rowing Federation introduced the new North Cyprus Yacht Club at a cocktail party which took place at the Colony Hotel in Girne on Monday 9th November.

The President of the Federation, Zeki Tasci made a speech saying the TRNC does not yet have the necessary infrastructure for the maritime sector and that sailors and officials should meet and solve their problems together.
“We are still using the harbours from the Venetian and Lusignan periods in both Girne and Gazimagusa. We do not have the facilities for our yachts. The citizens of the TRNC are unable to bring their own yachts to the country and keep them here”

If the harbours in the TRNC were sufficient, thousands of people with yachts would visit the country each year. They would pay to berth their yachts and they would also leave revenue in the country as they would eat, drink and repair their yachts here.

The North Cyprus Yacht Club participated in the presentation of awards for those who were successful in the photography and fishing contests.

NORTHERN CYPRUS CHEERS DAVID HAYE’S WIN OVER NIKOLAY VALUEV

The victory for David Haye on Saturday night was not only one for Bermondsey, London, and the United Kingdom, it was also one for the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus.

The rather lovely harbour town of Kyrenia has more recently been annexed by Haye and his trainer, Adam Booth, and the locals rather like it.

They pat Haye on the back and pay him compliments; Haye barely understands a word of it but the relationship works swimmingly.

Haye started training here two years ago after Booth suggested they pay it a visit. The trainer’s father was from Northern Cyprus and he fancied the value of property there.

As Haye recently put it, he thought he was going to “a tourist destination with lager louts”, but he has since learnt the difference between north and south and has worked out that the quiet life is best achieved by not expressing a political preference either way.

In some previous bouts, though, he has gone so far as to fight with a small flag of the Republic stitched on to his shorts and this has gone down exceptionally well.

There is no internationally recognised football association in Northern Cyprus, nor a recognised Olympic association, so Haye is pretty much the only sporting hero they get to shout about.

Northern Cyprus is now a second home that Haye and Booth normally use when preparing for fights. They both own villas on the coast and they have renovated a building at the top of a rough, one-track lane and turned it into a state-of-the-art gym.
