that records the work being done in sailing in T\u00fcrkiye and carries it to the international sailing community. Founded in 2026, it publishes in Turkish and English.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ruzgar-ustu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/medya-alani-filo-samandira-j70.jpg\" alt=\"J\/70 fleet sailing beat near the orange buoy\">\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"sec\">\n<div class=\"sech\"><h2>What is R\u00fczgar \u00dcst\u00fc?<\/h2><\/div>\n<div class=\"two\">\n<div class=\"prose\">\n<p>It writes about sailors, teams, clubs, sailing schools, races, brands and good practice, so that the work done in sailing does not disappear on social media but becomes an archive that can be consulted over time. The aim is to build an independent record of sailing in T\u00fcrkiye that people can return to in the years ahead.<\/p>\n<p>The second purpose of this record is international recognition. More sailors from T\u00fcrkiye competing abroad, more foreign crews taking part in events in T\u00fcrkiye, and T\u00fcrkiye being recognised as a strong sailing destination are permanent parts of the editorial agenda.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"prose\">\n<p>We do not publish race results. Results become final on the organiser\u2019s official source once protest and jury procedures are complete; we point readers there. We write the story around the result: how the race unfolded, how a team came together, why a brand is there, who did the work behind the scenes.<\/p>\n<div class=\"quote\">We have no institutional ties to any club, sailing school, race organisation or federation. This independence is the precondition of our work.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"sec\">\n<div class=\"sech\"><h2>Where does the information come from?<\/h2><\/div>\n<p class=\"lede\">R\u00fczgar \u00dcst\u00fc\u2019s source is the field. We draw on five channels.<\/p>\n<div class=\"src\">\n<div><h3>Our own observation<\/h3><p>Rana Akkurt, who founded and writes R\u00fczgar \u00dcst\u00fc, is on the start line, inside the crews and on club grounds. How a race unfolded, what the wind did, what was said in the protest room: none of it is reported second-hand.<\/p><\/div>\n<div><h3>The network in the field<\/h3><p>Race officials, club managers, sailors and people from brand communication teams pass on what they have seen and what they know. The information becomes a story after passing through the editorial filter.<\/p><\/div>\n<div><h3>Interviews and first-hand experience<\/h3><p>A sailor in their first race, a foreign crew competing in T\u00fcrkiye, a manager who has kept a club going on their own means for years: stories are told by the people who lived them, through interviews and as far as possible in their own words. These stories are the backbone of the publication.<\/p><\/div>\n<div><h3>Official sources<\/h3><p>Notices of race and sailing instructions, announcements from organising clubs and event organisers, the Turkish Sailing Federation\u2019s calendar and records, class associations and World Sailing documents. Dates, classes, boats and sailor details are verified against these sources.<\/p><\/div>\n<div><h3>International media and good practice<\/h3><p>We follow the international sailing press, the communications of major events and models that work in other countries. The aim is to place the work done in T\u00fcrkiye in a global context and bring good practice here. Any information taken from an external source is published with its source and a link.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"sec\">\n<div class=\"sech\"><h2>How we work<\/h2><\/div>\n<div class=\"ilke\">\n<div><h3>Verification<\/h3><p>Before a piece of information goes into a story, it is confirmed with a primary source. Press releases are not published as they arrive; the newsworthy part is taken and, where needed, the parties involved are asked.<\/p><\/div>\n<div><h3>Right of reply<\/h3><p>Where a story contains a critical judgement about a person, club or organisation, that party is asked for their view before publication and the view is included in the story.<\/p><\/div>\n<div><h3>Corrections<\/h3><p>When an error is found, a dated correction note is added at the end of the story. There are no silent changes.<\/p><\/div>\n<div><h3>Labelling<\/h3><p>Content made possible by an organisation\u2019s contribution is clearly stated; advertising and editorial content are also kept visually separate. Photographer credits are mandatory.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"sec\">\n<div class=\"sech\"><h2>What do we care about?<\/h2><\/div>\n<p class=\"lede\">R\u00fczgar \u00dcst\u00fc is not limited to news.

It looks with curiosity for the story of the sailor who is not heard, the small club, the crew in their first race, and puts it on record. In media theory this approach is known as the social responsibility model: freedom of the press comes with an obligation to society, to give accurate information in context, to represent different groups and to open space for debate. Our editorial principles are the concrete form of this approach.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h2>Masthead<\/h2>\n<dl class=\"kunye\">\n<dt>Publication<\/dt><dd>R\u00fczgar \u00dcst\u00fc<\/dd>\n<dt>Type<\/dt><dd>Independent online publication, non-profit<\/dd>\n<dt>Founded<\/dt><dd>2026, Istanbul<\/dd>\n<dt>Founder and responsible editor<\/dt><dd>Rana Akkurt<\/dd>\n<dt>Volunteer communications support<\/dt><dd>Natus \u0130leti\u015fim<\/dd>\n<dt>Languages<\/dt><dd>Turkish, English<\/dd>\n<dt>Channels<\/dt><dd>ruzgar-ustu.com \u00b7 Windward T\u00fcrkiye (podcast) \u00b7 Instagram @ruzgar.ustu \u00b7 LinkedIn<\/dd>\n<dt>Contact<\/dt><dd>info@r\u00fczgar\u00fcst\u00fc.com \u00b7 <a href=\"\/en\/contact\/\">Contact page<\/a><\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cta\">\n<div><h2>Get in touch<\/h2><p>A race, team, athlete, project, school, or brand sponsorship: if there is something worth telling, let us know.
