On the last race day we had four more tough races and almost all of them had the Charlie pennant in our pocket due to the shifting wind. But I'm sure all the racers got tired of fighting the wind from 300 to 350 degrees. Although we were worried about the wind, which reached speeds close to the safety limit, but we successfully managed to completed the day's racing with a high degree of difficulty", - concluded Can Giray, the PRO of regatta.

Rounding out the podium was Andrey Pushkin's Tenzor Team with 32 points net.

Last race day was very successful for Dolce Vita skippered by Inna Balashova who managed to win one race and to be in top-5 in three others. The team finally finished 4th in overall, making a great jump of 6 places up ahead of Hubex team led by Kirill Frolov and other rivals.

The top Corinthian team, finishing 6th overall, was the Turkish Orient Express, composed of Arif Gurdenli, Pavel Karachov, Bugra Hadimoglu and Efe Sezik.

Teenage team skippered by Pavel Grachev (7th), Gaswar led by Alexander Romanov (8th), Ameera Jet helmed by Onur Mandalinci (9th) and Maksim Batrakov's Bars Sailing Team completed the top-10 of this Stage.
