The first in the country “Royal Bulgaria yacht club” was established in Varna. Its aim is to ease the cooperation with all royal clubs in the world. The idea for its establishment is of the famous in Bulgaria and abroad Ivan Grekov with tens of first places in Bulgarian and international regattas.

“The need for the establishment of such club comes from the fact that for already 2 decades of transition in the structures of the Bulgarian water federations and yacht clubs nearly nothing has changed and they continue to function the old way”, says Grekov. “The newly established royal yacht club aims at increasing the authority of the Bulgarian yachting in the world through organizing participations of Bulgarian sailing teams in the most prestigious world competitions”.

The club will deal with the organization of children’s, juvenile and Olympic sailing as well as with the preparation of yachting teams for successful presentation at world and Olympic competitions.

“Another priority of the club will be to popularize all water sports as well as the tourist opportunities offered by the Bulgarian sea shore”, said also Grekov.

The club will organize the first international sea regatta in the end of May 2009 from Varna to Mangalia.
