The race is held in the beautiful port of Sibenik and participants can enjoy lovely waterfront views of the old town of Sibenik and the fortress of Sv Mihovil. It also coincides with town festivities.
On the Friday the organisers host a welcome party to the event, which is a monotype regatta in triple format.
Photo exhibitions are open for viewing at the Sibenik public library and a host cafe bar. Festivities are held over the weekend, including a fair and traditional folk music performances.
Racing typically commences at around 11am each day, and there are night races also from 8pm over two nights.
Race participants choose their own course, and have a round the clock race card checked in at 6 different control points. The goal is to pass through each checkpoint before the finish.
Each checkpoint is a venue like a cafe bar and the regatta teams run a tab which requires stamping to officiate each checkpoint. Throughout the regatta, participating cafe bars provide a 20 percent discount. Each participant receives a T-shirt as a memento of the event.
I wish I could travel, I just don't have the money. I really want to go Croatia sailing. Sounds like so much fun!
