Here we go again. The nations cup is back and so are we. Nations cup is the equivalent of a world cup in match racing, organized in no specific time order by the ISAF. The idea is that each nations send its best match racing team, to a regional qualifier. The qualified teams than meet at the finals, to battle for the Nations Cup and the title of World Champion of Match Racing. Last time around, Soyer Sailing Team qualified to represent Turkey by winning the first organized match race in Izmir, Turkey. At the regional elections though the team "lost" to India on equal points. You can read abouth that story here .

This time, Turkey is put in a European region, where opponents include countries like Italy, Croatia, and Slovenia. The Turkish Sailing Federation confirmed that Soyer Sailing Team will be its representative at that qualifier event. We will try our best at this event, where we will be racing againts heavyweights of match racing such as Paulo Cian (ITA) and Jure Orel (SLO). Tough as it is going to be, it will be a great experience.
