CREW INFORMATION

THE RACE


Dramatic coastal landscape, hundreds of beautiful islands, changing winds and seas.
Croatia is an exhilarating mix of nature and adventure that is irresistible for any sailor.
Adriatic Week 2017: The Race
Over four days, a challenging combination of coastal and island courses will lead crews south along the Croatian mainland, before weaving in and out of the idyllic islands of Hvar, Brac, and Pakleni.

Race days 1 & 2: Split
Starting in Split’s historic port, the race will head south along the mainland. Zipping past the sun-dappled pine forests and idyllic beaches, the immense beauty of the Dalmatian coast makes this first stretch of the race unforgettable.

Race days 3 & 4: Hvar
For the remaining days, the islands surrounding Hvar will be transformed into a natural race course. Variable conditions and natural obstacles will be a real test for all crews.

September sailing conditions
Clear skies and warm sunshine are accompanied by a strong breeze and calm seas throughout September. Reaching highs of 26°C, the average temperature is generally around 21°C.
Throughout the summer months, the Bora, Maestral, and Sirocco winds blow in the Adriatic. The Maestral is a sailor's friend - a warm thermal wind that blows daily. Starting early in the morning and building to its most powerful in the afternoon, it creates brilliant racing conditions, particularly around the islands.

Over 50 yachts from across Europe are set to compete this September. Join them now.
