Alpay Akdilek and Kerem Tuncer, the unbeatable champions of last year, won both GPs of Van in the first ever Offshore races held in the "Van Sea", as the locals call the Van lake...
Kerem and Alpay, proving that it is almost impossible to catch them upto 1 meter waves, finally made up to the top rank of the 2008 Turkish Offshore Championship.
A similar championship series to our World Offshore 225 Championship is under preparation in England.

The Class 3 - 225 race cat built by our President Ugur Isik under Cougar license was sent to Cougar in England. Multiple World Class 1 series Champion and owner of Cougar Powerboats Steve Curtis was very satisfied about the performance of the cat with the Honda engine following the changes he performed to the hull of the race boat.

The time is approaching fast for the first ever Van Offshore GPs. Van being very far to major cities in Turkey, not a lot of people can find the time to visit, therefore we strongly recommend that you plan your trip to Van with YKM Travel as soon as you can. We also recommend that you take a couple of days more and plan a longer visit to enjoy the historical and touristical areas in Van, while you are there to witness two extremely challenging Offshore GPs.
Stihl won both Kemer GPs.
23.06.2008
Miele took second places on both race where Stihl took the chequered flag. Marmaris Yacht Marina took the third place on the first GP and SIF JCB 44 on the second GP. Capsized Marmaris Yacht Marina lost very valuable points on the race to the championship. Both Joseph Muhlbauer and Kerem Tuncer almost passed out due to the dehydration caused by the extreme heat on the first day at the end of the race.
