Instructions
It is not necessary to have any knowledge how to drive a ship. Cruise will not be physically or time consuming. It is suitable for people who will be first time on the yacht. During the days there will be a lot of free time to relax, swim, sunbathing, fun. Experienced skippers will explain and teach , people who will be interested in, how to operate the ships. During the competition skippers will have precise control over the ships. In case of bad weather the route is adjusted in order to sail safety. During nights ships will be in ports but at least one night, the participants will be in a quiet bay to anchor.
We will sail on 3-cabin yachts - sailboats brand Bavaria and Vector. Ship for 6-7 people are equipped to stay on the boat comfortable: beds with linens, toilets and showers with hot water, kitchens with dining sets, cookers, refrigerators. So people can cook on the boat easily. The ports are full of restaurants with nice Croatian specialties. Transport in Croatia will be addressed individually - cars. In the case of demand we will manage a minibus or bus.
Do not forget to insure yourself
What you should take with you
If you do not know exactly what you need to take with you, there is a list of things that could help. Clothing and accessories suitable for traditional summer holiday are very similar to yacht holiday. For example, a classic wrap shirts, shorts, swimwear, slippers, sneakers - which leave no marks, light jacket, hat, sleepwear and sunglasses of course. In case of bad weather you should have waterproof clothing (jacket with hood, pants), warmer set of clothes, waterproof shoes, warm socks. If you are going in a port to more formal dinners, it fits the shirt or blouse, preferably from crease resistant material. However, remember that it is appropriate to package your stuff economically. Of course do not forget the travel documents, medication (and in case you need to take Kinedril the "seasick" Dithiaden - sun allergy medicine), sunscreen needs, toiletries, camera or video camera, adapters and chargers, favorite music on CD and snorkeling stuff. Travel bag , not suitcase, is good choice to package your stuff.
You should not be afraid of seasickness, it is not a month nonstop journey across the ocean. Adriatic sea is calm and people are usually ok without any problems.
Kitchen on the boat is as comfortable as one in your home, therefore, you should not have any apprehension. So preparing food is no problem. Very frequent problem is that people take too much food from home. Much of food portion remains unused and need to be taken back to home. In ports there are enough shops, where you can comfortably purchase also food, so no need to bring everything from home. Past experiences show that some food are not used for various reasons and are replaced by visiting local restaurants. Therefore, planning meals should not be so big, but it should feed a whole crew and skipper as well. For preparing food, crew members typically take turns. Half-finished product reduces time for cooking, and people can use this time for relaxing or sunbathing. Although the yacht has a refrigerator, but frozen food is recommended to consume as soon as possible. A typical day on the yacht begins with a large breakfast, a quick lunch during a stop in the bay and is finished nice dinner. Drinks are another story. It is not often that something had to be taken back – at home.
We will compete for the cup/medals, and interesting prices ....
