The champions of the grand final of the Tenzor Elite Cup 2025 have been determined

The grand final of the international sailing series Tenzor Elite Cup 2025 has ended in Sochi. The final stage brought together about 70 yachtsmen from Russia and Turkey.

The strategy of the regatta changed dramatically due to unstable weak winds. If on the first race day, November 7, it was possible to hold three races with a wind of 4-6 knots, then the next day was completely lost due to calm. The intensity of the fight was at its peak on the decisive third day of the race. The first start was given at 8 a.m. in the Matsesta area.

"We started with the expectation of a morning breeze, but the weather has changed so that clouds have crept in. There was no temperature drop, but instead of the expected morning breeze, there was a southeasterly wind of 5-6 knots. Fortunately, it was enough to hold one full—fledged race," commented Alexey Ganzhenko, the chief judge of the competition.

After lunch, the judges made a new attempt to give another start, but twice the races were stopped ahead of schedule due to lack of wind. As a result, only four races were held in three race days, which made each start very valuable and required maximum concentration from the crews.

The winner of the grand final of the Tenzor Elite Cup 2025 with a score of 12.0 points was the Aladdin team with Daniil Maistrovsky at the helm. The second place on the podium with 15.0 points was taken by the Gulnara and Hamsters team. The bronze of the final stage with 19.0 points and silver in the series were won by the crew of the Bars Sailing Team. In the special nomination of the women's competition in the grand finals and in the series, Elvira Pinchuk, the helmsman of the PTICHKI Sailing Team, representing Izhevsk, was awarded the victory.

The international status of the regatta was highlighted by the participation of the Turkish Das Sailing Team. Russo Trans, W Sailing Team, Sochi Sailing Team, and S-KOTIKI finished in the top ten of the Grand final.

According to the sum of all four stages of the summer series Tenzor Elite Cup 2025, the strongest took the podium.:

• 1st place — Aladdin team (86 points)
• 2nd place — the "Bars Sailing Team" (132 points)
• 3rd place — Ptichki Sailing Team (132 points)

Very soon, in December, the winter series of the Tenzor Elite Cup 2025/2026 and the Cup of the Southern Federal District will start in Sochi, which will once again bring together yachtsmen under the sails of the Tenzor Sailing Club.
