About 230 sailors from 26 countries arrived in Girne yesterday morning when most of the 71 boats in the 21st Eastern Mediterranean Yacht Rally (Emyr) dropped anchor in the commercial harbour.
The rally flotilla completed an overnight cruise from Alanya in Turkey, in the latest stage of the Emyr, which got under way from Istanbul on 23rd April and is due to finish in Israel on Monday 28th June after 1,825 nautical miles.
Unlike previous years, the yachts are not using Girne old harbour – where they had been a yearly tourist attraction since 1990 – due to lack of space.
During their stay in Girne, the crews will attend a welcome party, hosted by President Dervis Eroglu, in Girne Castle, and there will be a now traditional fancy dress Pirates Party in the Dome Hotel tomorrow night.
