The 2020 Southern Coast Cup International Yacht Competition, co-hosted by Busan City, Jeollanam-do Province and Gyeongsangnam-do Province, ended successfully on the third of August at Yeosu.

The competition, which was being held for the first time this year, featured 31 boats and 298 sailors from nine countries, including South Korea, the United States, Great Britain, and more.

To prevent the spread of COVID-19, the competition was held by limiting the number of participants to domestic sailors and foreign sailors living in Korea. The competition was successfully completed with the utmost preparation and prevention even in difficult situations.

The match was held in the ORC class (offshore sailing). Busan's United team Sexy Busan won the overall ORC I class, Korea's Summer Girl placed second, and Korea's Vikira was third.

Southern Breeze III was the overall champion of ORC II class, followed by Korea's Boli in second and Nimfa in third place.

The 2020 Southern Coast Cup International Yacht Competition was co-hosted by three cities and provinces to promote win-win development in the southern coastal region, and to develop a competition that greatly contributes to the creation of marine leisure tourism belts and popularization of yacht culture.
