Only few days remains until start of 70. Viška regata and number of entries reached a record 120 yachts a day before opening of registration office. Best yachts of Split area are ready, teams from Šibenik, Zadar and from Kvarner area are also coming. More than 10 yachts are coming all the way from Slovenia, among them is always dangerous and fast brother duo on racing yachts Generali and Megaenergija. Fleet from YC Orsan from Dubrovnik is more numerous than ever led by winner of Adriatic race Dubrovnik. Few boats from Montenegro will take part, among them is Black Mystery. There are also teams from Italy, France, Austria, Czech Republic and other countries. It is hard to predict a winner of open division because 10 to 15 racing yachts are rightfully hoping to claim overall victory on one of most prestigious and competitive regattas in Croatia.
Weekend on Vis is full of various events, on friday after traditional meal for all participants in regatta there will be a toast to mark 70 years of partnership between Viška regatta and Vis town, and at 10 p.m. on waterfront near town hall music band Mjesni Odbor is set to take the stage. Main event on saturday is of course attractive traditional regatta inside Vis bay where action in tight space is followed by more than 1000 spectators spread all around the bay. In the meantime on Kut cigar club MAREVA is organising thrid open championship of Vis in slow smoking of cuban cigars. On Luka children from Vis primary school are preparing "days of bread", while association Butiga is preparing presentation of traditional wines from Vis, spirits, liqueur and other local products. But before all events this weekend that marks end of summer season on Vis on friday morning Ivan Mažuranić, representative of Société Nautique de Genève will give the start signal of first leg and Viška regatta will once again come to life.
It is less than two weeks until the start of one of most exciting and most prestigious regattas in Croatia which this year celebrates its 70. edition. Once more fastest salling boats from Dalmatia will race each other from Split to Vis and back. There will be crews from other countries as well as Slovenian boats traditionally dominating open class. Regatta is organised by JK Labud from Split in collaboration with JK Vis.
First winner of Adriatic race maxi AAG Big One (ex Chessie racing, ex Beau Geste, ex Assa Abloy) after 8 editions is still a record holder with sailed time 28:41:15 despite efforts of many excellent sailors to beat time set by crew of yellow VO60 led by skipper Marko Murtić.
Picture: AAG Big One after start back in 2007. was first to leave Vis bay on his way to Dubrovnik.
This was sixth Adriatic race for skipper Damir Čargo, that makes him skipper with highest number of appearences in Adriatic race. This year he was leading his crew on his new boat Waypoint, while previous years (2007., 2008., 2010., 2011. i 2012.) he was at the helm of Matchpoint. This spring together with Miljenko Nikolić, Čargo on Waypoint competed in regatta Rome per 2 and in regatta 500x2. It seems that Damir and Milijenko have a hard time to resist temptation of long and challenging ragattas where this year they were among Croatia most active sailors.

Photo update from Ola while overtaking Austria One, but can they do the same to current leader Dubrovnik? Race is far from over, competitors are facing night with very light winds.
Dubrovnik is leading the race with almost 2 mile lead over Ola, followed by Austria One and czech crew on Sabre who are doing great, Waypoint decison to go north of Lastovo at the moment is not looking like a good one. There was no forcasted rain on the race course today - it was nice sunny spring day. Northern wind that was blowing in the afternoon is giving away, will there be any wind from the south? Who will catch breeze first?
Fresh boats positions are coming in Race Office, do we have a new race leader?

Uskoro očekujemo prvo javljanje pozicija, od natjecatelja saznajemo da je vjetra bilo više nego li je to prognoza predviđala tako da su vodeći brodovi stigli u blizinu Korčule.
