The ‘Big-Small regatta’ named Losinjska took place September 15 and 16, 2018.  This Regatta is geographically situated on the beautifully island of MALI LOSINJ which is also ‘heaven on earth’ by many.
The Losinjska Regatta is a two-day regatta. The first day is navigational orientated race, outside of the bay to the close-by islands and to the marina. The second day exists of multiple windward/leeward races inside the bay. This Regatta attracts a nice fleet, from maxi boats to sport rockets.
The commodore of the club, Vedran Kabalin, welcomes us for second time with great hospitality! Thanks to Vedran, it feels like home far away from home. Compared to the previous Regatta (Race Round KRK Island Race), we had a fully crew of four. Together with our great racers (Ante and Patrik) we were ready for to shine!
The first day started of in our favor, we were leading in our group which gave us a good position for the next 2 races. There were very tricky shifts and parking area’s inside the bay, but we managed to hold on to our spot! In the evening we talked to sailors, enjoyed the local food, and ice cold beers! What else do we need after a great day of racing?
The second day started with light winds, we nailed the first 2 starts and finished in style with three bullets in our group. Hard work pays of, we became first!
Vedran allowed me to go on stage to invite all sailors to the St. Maarten Heineken Regatta. We invited Vedran to the Heineken Regatta and hope he comes one day to visit us on ‘our’ island, so we can show him our Regatta!
