[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tekirdag Tekirdag] is a new, commercial harbour on the north shore of the Sea of Marmara in Turkey, 67 miles west of [[Istanbul]] and 72 miles NE of [[Canakkale]] in the [[Dardanelles]].  There is currently no provision for yachts in the harbour and visitors here must find a place here alongside the quays wherever they can.  It may be necessary to lie alongside a fishing boat at busy times.  Shelter is good from the prevailing N/NE winds, although the harbour is open SW.  Tekirdag is one of the harbours for which the Turkish Transportation Ministry is currently (March 2011) inviting tenders to establish a proper marina operation.

The harbour shown in some older pilot books no longer exists.  It has been filled in and is now a huge car park, funfair and extended row of cafes and restaurants.  A completely new harbour has been created to the E of the old facility, which it is intended to establish as a full marina once tenders for its operation have been received.  Meanwhile, mooring in here is a ‘free for all’ and visiting yachts must find a space (usually alongside a quay or another vessel) wherever they can.  Entrance to the new harbour is from SW and depths in the entrance are 5.5 metres.  Depths at the quays range from 3.0 – 5.5 metres.

The quays are currently populated with small local craft on DIY moorings and alongside.  A visiting yacht will need to squeeze in wherever possible.  The most likely spot is alongside near the lift-out bay at the N end of the harbour.  If all else fails, the harbour is large enough to anchor off in the centre.  Depths are around 5.0 metres and the holding is good in mud.  No charge is currently made for using the harbour.
