In order to ensure the safety of participants and spectators, the General Directorate of Coastal Safety has announced the closure of the Bosphorus Strait to north-south ship traffic starting from 08:00.

This temporary suspension is necessary to prevent any potential incidents involving sailing boats and regular ship traffic in the area.

The BAU Bosphorus Sailing Cup Sailing Race not only showcases the splendor and historical significance of the Bosphorus Strait but also serves as a major attraction for participants and spectators from around the world.

Additionally, the event contributes to boosting tourism in Istanbul. (ILKHA)
