ARC Group is pleased to announce its sponsorship of a professional sailing team at the 2025 Shanghai Sailing Regatta, which took place from December 25 to 28, 2025, at the Shanghai Water Sports Center. The event formed part of the 2025 Yangtze River Delta Sailing Regatta-Season Grand Final (Shanghai), marking the concluding competition of the season and bringing together elite sailors from across China and international racing circuits.

As one of the most prominent sailing events in the region, the Shanghai Grand Final attracted several hundred participants, with more than 30 teams competing in the highly competitive J/80 class, alongside youth and Olympic-class sailors in the Optimist and ILCA categories. The regatta received extensive media coverage and served as a key gathering point for professional competition, youth development, and international sporting exchange.

The ARC-sponsored team featured a highly accomplished lineup of international sailors, including Polina Artyukh, a gold medalist at the World Ice Yachting Championships; Anton Didenko, a World Champion in the Platu 25 class and one of Vladivostok’s strongest competitive sailors; and Nikolay Korolev, a multiple-time Russian Championship winner with extensive racing experience across Asia, including victories in Korea and Malaysia. Competing in the J/80 class, the team delivered a strong performance in a highly competitive field.

“Sailing reflects many of the values that define ARC Group – discipline, strategic execution, and performance under pressure,” said Abraham Cinta, CEO of ARC Group. “We are proud to have supported this team at the Shanghai Sailing Regatta and to be part of an event that showcases excellence on an international stage.”

Sergio Camarero, President of ARC Group, added: “The Shanghai Sailing Regatta represents the type of high-caliber, international environment where preparation, teamwork, and resilience are essential. Supporting elite athletes at this event aligns closely with ARC Group’s global outlook and commitment to excellence.”

Through its sponsorship of the Shanghai Sailing Regatta, ARC Group supported a high-profile international sporting event that brought together elite sailors and teams from across China and global racing circuits.
