Regatta in Croatia, October 2009

sasha — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 14:50:23 +0000

We have just returned from our www.highpointyachtfest.eu sailing regatta in Croatia and realized, once again, that sailing, socializing and networking go incredibly well together. We were so lucky with the beautiful weather too bearing in mind that we are in October. We took over the sailing boats in Kastela, nr Split. We had sailing yachts Elan 434 and Elan 384 in the fleet. We then sailed to Trogir for the Welcome Party. Trogir is one of the best preserved towns in Dalmatia and one of the most beautiful ones too. The old town centre is well worth visiting and is a perfect host for these kinds of sailing events as well as for the private charter. The ACI Marina is positioned right across the waterfront of the old town. One can not wish for a more lovely view. On Sunday we started our regatta and sailed from Trogir, via the island of Solta to the Lucice anchorage. On Monday, we sailed from Lucice to Hvar. On Tuesday we sailed from Hvar to Palmizana, the Pakleni archipelago. On Wednesday we sailed from Palmizana to Vis. On Thursday we sailed from Vis to Maslinica (island Solta). On Friday we sailed from Maslinica to Trogir for our Prize Giving dinner in the old town centre. On Saturday morning we returned the boats in the Kastela marina.
We swam, we dined very well, mostly in the local restaurants that we pre booked for our crews. We sailed in the afternoons as that is when we had the most of the winds.
The Central Dalmatia is a fantastic area for a sailing holiday, a regatta or any kind of sailing event. The choice of sailing boats is very good and there are plenty of marinas, anchorages and lovely ports that give a number of options for different routes.
