[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Song Jong-gu] The 10th Gyeongsangnam-do Governor's Cup National Yacht Competition, hosted by Gyeongsangnam-do and organized by the Gyeongsangnam-do Governor's Cup National Yacht Competition Organizing Committee and the Gyeongnam Yacht Association, with support from Namhae-gun, Tongyeong-si, and the Korea Yacht Association, was held from the 26th to the 27th at Donam Port in Tongyeong-si, Saryangdo, and Mulgeon Port in Namhae.

This competition, originally scheduled for September, was indefinitely postponed due to the northward approach of Typhoon Hinnamnor, but was successfully held before the onset of the severe cold wave, with refreshing sea breezes.

The race course for the main event, the cruiser class (10m or longer, 12-person capacity) yacht competition, started from Donam Port in Tongyeong and proceeded via Geumpyeong Port (Jinchon Village) in Saryangdo to Mulgeon Port in Namhae.

Additionally, Namhae-gun hosted a free yacht boarding experience event over two days, from the 26th to the 27th, inviting about 100 local residents who rarely have the opportunity to experience yachting at Mulgeon Port.

The overall championship was won by the Pyeongtaek Angels team from Pyeongtaek, Gyeonggi-do. The Pyeongtaek Angels team said, "The unique scenery and atmosphere of Mulgeon Port in Namhae, along with the backdrop of the German Village, are so harmonious and beautiful. Especially, we are pleased that marina facilities have been established where yachts can be safely docked, making it easy and convenient to visit anytime."

Jang Chung-nam, the county governor, stated, "Namhae-gun is always striving to establish itself as a marine leisure tourism city. We hope for much support and interest from marine leisure enthusiasts."
