Some minutes ago, the Croatian race management (Baldasar Morozin, Sime Stanic and Dragan Penjalov) has left the city harbour of Biograd with their yacht "Dancer". They will set the red buoy, which together with the signal pole in the harbour marks the finishing line of the regatta. The weather at the time of writing: Absolutely no wind...
Hot match at Murter island
Last updated May 22, 2016 | RPC 2011 en
The last hours of the RPC 2011 have started, and the night has brought some surprises. Though the wind faded almost completely, there's a suspensive match going on close to the coast of Murter. The "Southhampton" of Martin Hartls Celox Sailing Team (65) is still leading the field, but in the last hour or so, three competitors have closed in on them. The "San Diego” (Ronnie Zeiller/Alles Yacht, 63), the “Solent” (Robert Schönbeck/Ascherl-Regatta Bodensee, 64) and Misa Strobls “San Tropez” (ReefRaffRacing, 62) are contesting the favorite, which seemed to stand still for a while...
We'll report from Biograd, as soon as the first one crosses the finishing line here at the harbour. Have a look at our live tracker to stay up to date on what happens on the last sea miles of this great regatta!
The last regatta night starts

As the live tracking shows, the "Southhampton" (65) sails into the night with a large winning margin. Will the "Celox Sailing Team" of Martin Hartl be the first crew to cross the winning at Biograd, for the second year in a row? It will be decided in the next hours! Far behind, the tracking system shows the same picture as during the day: The field is very close here, with following participants close to each other: The “Solent” (64), the “Cowes” (54), the ”San Diego” (63), the “San Tropez” (62) and the “New York” (60). The "Cape Cod" (51) is trying to get back to the head of the race. This night will show, if Klaus Pitter and his "Yachtcharter Pitter" team will be successful...
The main problem tonight is the wind. As the author of this blog noticed himself on the trip from Hvar to Biograd on the motorboat of "Sea Help", there's not much wind left. And the forecast for the night isn't too optimistic, too. The meteorologists forecast practically no wind for the next hours. Apparently, it's going to be a slow motion match to Biograd. We will report as soon as the first boat is here!
