Sjedim u Yacht clubu u La Grande Motte i gledam kroz prozor vani u Golf du Lion, more divlja, vjetra je preko 40 ?vorova, a sino? ga je bilo sigurno i do 50-60.

Y.C. Host from Vis was organizer of Adriatic regatta which was held for the weekend 1st of May. Great new initiative trying to revive this very old and almost forgotten regatta!!!

Well, don't really know where to start from. I must admit, there's been quite a long time since last update but for me the time has literally flown away.

After summer sailing season, stage of preparations came which was used for media presentation of our successful qualifications and presentation of Mini class at different sailing happenings in Croatia.

Two videos mounted from the video material recorded during qualification race Triangle du Soleil and solo qualification from Port Camargue to Tribunj are now uploaded on YouTube portal.

Racing season for first Croatian Mini Tribunj 232 is finished. Great job in qualifications for solo Atlantic race, Mini Transat 2007 has been accomplished. With great effort and help from colleagues sailors friend, Sime sucesfully finished 3 very demanding regattas is the Mediterranean which are prerequisites to participate in the Transat 6,50 next year.

Mini Max is after us. Valuable 500 nm is noted down in qualification miles for first Croatian Mini 232. Rules for participation at Mini Transat 2007 are simple but very rigid. Skipper needs to sail, on the same boat, at least 1000 miles in regattas and finish solo qualifier (singlehanded non stop sailing) on given route of another 1000 miles in order to get on the list among 70 skippers which will participate in MT.

Today at 2 p.m. is the start of 500 nm doublehanded race from Port Camargue to Ajaccio (Corsica) and back. It’s a two leg course and we have a stopover in Ajaccio. Co-skipper of Mini 232 Tribunj for this regatta is Kreso Djakulovic who has arrived from Split yesterday. We are anxiously waiting for tomorrow’s start with other 50 minis at most famous class regatta in the Mediterranean. There are lot of good skippers and fast boats. It will be interesting to see how we’ll cope with them.
