EurILCA Europa Cup Bodrum

Bodrum will welcome international sailing talent on September 24–27, 2026, as the EurILCA Europa Cup Bodrum takes place under the hosting of B.B. Bodrumspor Club. With 145 athletes from 13 countries, the event will bring strong youth and performance sailing energy to one of Türkiye’s most iconic Aegean destinations.

The races will be held in ILCA 4, ILCA 6, and ILCA 7 classes, giving athletes across different levels and categories a competitive international stage. ILCA racing is built on precision, wind reading, tactical awareness, boat control, and the ability to make fast decisions under pressure. On Bodrum’s waters, every start, every mark rounding, and every shift in the Aegean wind will matter.

Bodrum will give the event a natural sailing identity. Between races, visitors can connect the championship with Bodrum Castle, the Museum of Underwater Archaeology, the marina, gulet culture, Aegean bays, and relaxed seaside evenings. Local flavors such as Çökertme kebab (Bodrum-style matchstick potato beef kebap), fresh seafood, herb mezes, and Bodrum mandarins will complete the experience. Even if you are not sailing, you will still want to be here—because the EurILCA Europa Cup Bodrum will turn competitive sailing into an Aegean week where young talent, race strategy, sea culture, and Bodrum’s coastal rhythm move together.
