¿Qué cubre este video?

Jason and Nikki Wynn travel to Istanbul, Türkiye, on a Turkish Airlines business-class invitation to spectate the President's International Yacht Race on the Bosphorus.Watch The race runs through the strait that splits Istanbul between Europe and Asia, and the Wynns watch from a monohull chase boat alongside friends Rico, Victoria, and Olympic sailor Yago, who notes it is his first time watching a race as a spectator rather than competing.13:34 The downwind start produces spinnakers, fiberglass-on-fiberglass contact, and at least one rule violation; the lead boat is a Far 40 design.13:45 Between race day and sightseeing, the Wynns cover the Basilica Cistern, Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace, and lunch at the Four Seasons Istanbul — housed in a former prison — where they drink Öküzgözü and Boğazkere red wines from southeastern Turkey.6:46 They also try Turkish coffee at Biyan and Kapesi and a non-traditional chocolate-and-cream baklava.15:27 The trip is two days, their first visit to Istanbul, and they close by recommending Turkish Airlines stopover packages as a low-cost way to sample the city en route to another destination.18:22
