Provezza

Provezza 11 again is a Vrolijk design, King Marine build the first half of 2024 and had its first outing last year in Puerto Portals. This long standing Turkish team goes back to the early 80-ties. A string of IOR, IMS, One-Design and Box Rule boats followed the trends in racing and now their second new build TP52, all under the name Provezza.

Owner Ergin Imre is not only is a keen sailor but also has marine industry interests in and around Istanbul. His crew for decades has been a mix of mainly amateur sailors from Turkey and pro sailors of a wide selection of nationalities. If anybody “has seen it all” in yacht racing and has become an expert in setting goals for his sailing it is the owner of this team. Expect Provezza to do well in 2025!
