Sailing Club of Rijeka and the Porto Montenegro Yacht Club  are pleased to announce a new race for offshore sailors interested in sailing along one of the most beautiful coastlines in the world: the Thousand Islands Race, to be held over 20-30 September 2012.

This new race will be held in two parts: starting on Sunday, 23 September from the historic port city of Rijeka, Croatia, the fleet will leave the islands of Unije, Susak, Premuda, Dugi Otok, Kornat, Vis, Lastovo and Mljet to starboard and finish at the new harbor of Porto Montenegro in Tivat, Montenegro. Over this distance of about 300 miles, the fleet will face the technical challenge of navigating among the many islands and channels of the Croatian coast and fascinating Boka Kotorska bay, but will be rewarded with the stunning beauty of this region, known around the world for its character.

After a prize giving for the Leg 1 in Porto Montenegro on Wednesday, 26 Sept, the fleet will then race back to Rijeka on the same course, starting on Thursday, 27 September, with a prize giving scheduled for Sunday, 30 September in Rijeka.

Entries need only be over 9.0 m in length, have an ORC Club or ORC International certificate, and a Stability index greater than 110.

Please consult Notice of Race for details, and also accommodation details in Rijeka and Tivat as well as logistic information about both venues. In addition we would be very happy to answer your queries via scor@scor.hr. The easiest way to make your entry is on-line entry form. We are looking forward to see  list of entered boats grow and host top sailors on this unique offshore race.
