It is probably the Biggest Water Sport Event in E. Mediterranean. An established event by Famagusta Nautical Club in the memory of Our Vice President, and after death Honorary President, Commodore of the Cyprus Navy, Andrea Ioannide.

Based at the Famagusta Nautical Club (Limassol), the event takes place in front of the Club, although some social events take place at the Limassol Marina. The Event started out with one Offshore race back in 2013 with ceremonies at our Club, including formal dinner, cocktail, musicians and a concept related to the tragic event of Mari.

Both Main Events are listed under the Worldwide calendars of the International Federations (IODA and ORC respectively).
