Venue: Island of MurterMurter is a place where tradition in sailing meets modern. Thanks to its specific micro location between land and hundreds of islands it has an impressive number of days with wind. This together with friendly atmosphere among locals are reasons why we have chosen Murter as a perfect place for our young Seascape 18 class.

Day oneLight winds and
temperatures up to 16 degrees marked first day of racing. Organizer set short
windward/leeward course in front of marina Hramina,
which proved to be a good challenge for 5 boats
competing. First flight of day one was
won by team helmed by Ratko Štibrič on AUT 003, but until the end of the day
Šime Stipaničev on SLO 007 and
Tonko Rameša on CRO 004 joined him
on the top of the rankings.

Day 2Warm, moderate
southerly wind assured more
exciting sailing on day two. We
were happy to see, that mixed
crews had no problems
claiming podium places throughout
the day and that in given
conditions Seascape had no
problems covering for
crew’s mistakes in boat handling

More wind brought more fun, more
stress and more exciting sailing. 4
flights saw 3 different winners and very
close racing.
