For the first two days, bora wind was greeting the contestants in the Bay of Piran, filling their sails with power up to 17 knots. Friday and Saturday brought the best possible sea breeze conditions with enough windspeeds to organize four and last two races.
Mitja Margon, the president of Pirat Sailing Club: “We are pleased that we have hosted excellent sailors and managed to carry out the entire regatta program in ideal conditions. In addition to sailing, we also prepared an accompanying program for the competitors. I believe they had a great time also thanks to Pirat team that organized this regatta flawlessly.”
Andraž Mihelin, co-founder of the Seascape company and a sailor: “Our wish is that this recreational class would attract as many people as possible to the water. Portorož has great potential, and with such a good organizing team, we wish to write more good sailing stories together.”
