What happens in sailing shouldn’t stay in sailing

In issue 325 of Hafta, Didem Eryar Ünlü spoke with Rüzgar Üstü founder Rana Akkurt about sailing in Türkiye: why, despite strong clubs, well-trained athletes and exceptional racecourses, the sport remains distant from the wider public, and why what is missing is a shared structure rather than new races.

A shared goal, a common sense of responsibility and strong channels that can tell the world about the unique sailing experience we have.RANA AKKURT, HAFTA
