Currently, Ukraine is experienced real boom of interest towards the Platu25 class. From two boats, the National Platu25 Association has grown to more than 40 in 10 years. Thanks for the Association and clubs proactivity the class enjoys more than 30 events during the season. The 2020 Ukrainian Platu25 Nationals held in Odessa delighted competitors with close fight and intense racing because of the perfect pro-am teams’ composition. On the international level, the Ukrainians are very competitive as well.

Therefore, it is no wonder that Black Sea based Odessa was chosen to host the Platu25 Europeans 2021. Given the perfect open sea location, fantastic racing conditions and good facilities, Odessa Racing Yacht Club is proud to welcome the international Platu25 fleet.

The city itself is worth discovering as well. Relatively young Odessa is full of life. Once enjoyed the porto-franco status, the city developed its own unique spirit that is treasured by locals and attracts visitors from all around the world.
