For one more year, top-level sailors gathered in Tongyeong, South Korea in order to participate in the 12th edition of the Yisunsin Cup International Yacht Race. A fleet of 91 boats and more than 586 sailors from 10 countries completed the participants' list.

In ORC1 class, "Vikira" managed to win the race for the second year in a row. In the ORC2 class "Rate" was the boat that claimed first place.

Following the celebrations, the sailors headed to the closing ceremony where this year's winners were crowned. The athletes seemed to enjoy their stay in Tongyeong and they renewed their meeting for next year and the 13th edition of Yisunsin Cup International Yacht Race.
