Pampur Regatta, Croatia - Report from MHYC Member Darryl Coombs

'The XV PAMPUR Regatta started in Kastela-Split Croatia, and cruised to the islands of SOLTA, BRAC, HVAR, KORCULA, AND LASTEVO for eight days.
Two races were included during the week with Darryl's Hanse 385, and his four Macedonian crew coming third to a Sun Odessey 54DS, and Hanse 445. There were eleven yachts competing, consisting of Bavaria 40 & 45 Cruisers, Sun Odessey 439 and Hanse 505.
Winds were a waning 'YUGO' from the south, with confused sea conditions, so races were long and tactical.

Apart from the racing, visiting the small villages seemingly hidden on the islands is fascinating, and the local seafood is excellent.

Any Member interested in joining the next Regatta in October should contact Darryl for details.
