His last breath was left by the president of Naval group Thessaloniki Lazaros (Akis) Tsalikis.
Akis Tsalikis, who was a professor in the Dental Department of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, had devoted his life and actions to the sea, while he was a founding member of the Thessaloniki Olympic Museum and a member of the Museum’s Board of Directors.
The deceased was passionately devoted to sailing. An active high -end athlete to the end, was a member of the National Team in Class 470 and one of the few Greeks who dared to cross the Atlantic.
As president of the Thessaloniki Nautical Club, he has contributed decisively to the development and international promotion of his group, while as chairman of the Federation Open Sea Committee for many years, he has essentially helped the establishment of Aegean Regatta as a leading institution that combines our championships with our championships.
