Beyond the factory floor, guests took to the water for dynamic sail demonstrations and hands-on training sessions hosted at Foça Marina, experiencing the performance, safety, and balance that define the Seawind brand.
Highlights of the Event Included:
- Behind-the-Scenes Factory Access: In-depth guided tours of the Izmir production facility, highlighting modern build techniques and quality control measures.
