Commodore’s Welcome to ECC 2012 

Dear Sailors, 

Welcome to Croatia, welcome to Biograd, a very warm 

welcome to the 19 th edition of the Engineering Challenge 

Cup. 

Just two years ago we had a fantastic week of ECC-sailing in 

the Kornati Islands. We enjoyed races perfectly organized 

from our Race Officer Alen Kustic, his assistants and the 

team of Ilirija. We had a lot of fun at some amazing parties 

in a great variety of locations. 

When we had to decide where to go this year there was no doubt where we would get the 

most homogenous and sportive fleet in the Mediterranean – Biograd in Croatia. We’ve got some 

beautiful proposals to go to other places (a very warm thank you again to Sasha King and 

Victor Llopis Wintsch and their teams) and had a really hard time to decide where to go. 

But finally the feedback from the skippers shows us we were right! 

So we are back again and probably it will be a bit boring? 

Biograd again? 

The same places again? 

The same races again? 

Obviously something we had to avoid! 

The same headaches again? ☺

So together with our partners we tried to brush up the event at this location and combined 

what we think was the best of the past with the best of today. 

• We asked and won once again Alen Kustic, the acknowledged best Race Officer the 

event ever had. And, of course, we will hear ‘Balde - Balde’ again. 

• We asked for a well experienced local partner to support us and guarantee a perfect 

event and won Ilirija d.d. Everybody will remember Milan, Ivan and all the other 

friendly people of their team. 

• We asked for the best fleet and won a very homogenous and sportive fleet from charter 

companies who wowed us with amazing substantial overnight repairs in the middle of 

nowhere (Piskera) when most of us thought at least one team would miss the next 

races. But please, don’t provoke something like that this year! ☺ 

Supported by Milan and Ivan we got a mixture of well proven places - and fantastic locations, 

where the ECC fleet has not been for several years or even never before. And we are quiet sure 

that we all together will have a lot of fun in 

Enjoying

2012 

But all this would not have come true without the generous support from our sponsors. From 

heart-warming and encouraging commitments at last years prize giving party in Marmaris 

(thank you to Bruce Douglas and Helmut Schuller from AVEVA) to our very welcome ‘last 

minute sponsor’ (thank you to Thomas Wehrheim from DOOSAN LENTJES) we found quite a 

few very friendly and engaged people and generous companies who helped the ECC fleet 

hoisting sails once again.



Please, stay safe, have fun and enjoy yourself. 

We look forward to seeing you in 

Biograd on the 5 th of May 2012.

Welcome from the ECC Admiral 

Dear Sailors, 

12 th April 2012 

Reading 

UK 

Welcome to Croatia for this 19 th Engineering Challenge 

Cup, brilliantly organised by Kay Heinrichs and his team 

☺☺☺☺☺. They have spent almost a year now making 

sure the 2012 event is fantastic for all of us. 

They have chosen Milan Sangulin and the Ilirija team who organised the 2010 event, which many 

consider to be the best yet, so all we know is that it will be great! Good choice, Kay! The other 

great news is that Alen Kustic will be our race officer again. His calm authoritative management 

of the races ensures we all feel the competition is fair and safe and I for one, would not dare 

question his authority! Since 2010 Commodores and non-Commodores have sailed together but 

competing separately for the Commodore’s Cup and the Engineering Challenge Cup. It was great 

and is now the norm – whoever wins the Engineering Challenge Cup will be the new Commodore 

for 2013. 

It was inevitable that the level of sponsorship would be down on previous years so we are 

especially appreciative of the generosity of those sponsors who did step forward this year. Please 

take the time to read the Sponsors’ presentations in this log book – a small price in exchange for 

their generosity. 

Each year in this introduction I like to remind you that whilst everyone knows that ECC is a great 

opportunity for over-refreshment and partying in the Engineering community, some may be 

unaware of the ECC Committee made up of former Commodores. We meet once a year during 

ECC week to explore ways to improve the event and throughout the year we exchange emails 

and vote on issues. We would welcome your ideas - just let one of us know before our meeting 

in Zadar just after Thursday’s race. What do you think would make it a better event? Remember, 

this is our holiday and we can make it how we want it!

It is with great sadness that we learned that Eric Hamer passed away in July 2011 after a long 

illness. Our condolences go to his family and many friends. Eric’s team represented Fluor in 1997 

to 2000 and 2009 and 2010. They won it in 1998 and have always been competitive, coming 2nd 

in the last 3 years. Nils Boegborn skippered last year and will take over from Eric. We are also 

pleased to welcome Angelo Ottaviani and Roland Locher who have taken over from the retiring 

Frederico de Nora and Patrick Heini respectively. 

Finally, don’t forget that, although we are on holiday from work, we are not on holiday from 

safety, so please remember to ensure it is always the number one priority and never 

compromised for results. In particular, every skipper is expected to understand the right-of-way 

rules and ensure his boat complies with them fully. If in any doubt, please keep clear of the 

action and don’t take risks on the water. 

Have a great week!!

Who made / makes ECC 2012 comes true? 

or 

Here we are - but how did we get here? 

It all started in May 2011 when David Boocock, his team and their 

supporters organised a fabulous ECC 2011 in Turkey. 

We got a very well maintained yacht the ‘Kan-Avel’ from Sunsail (thank you) and my fantastic crew, 

Christiane, Anke, Christine, Ralf and Simon (thank you very much and my deepest respect, 

indeed), brought the goal – Overall Winner ECC 2011 – within our grasp, but was that really the goal? 

After three or four days we had quite a few discussions about the pros and cons to at least try to win, 

but some encouraging chats with our Admiral John Hall Hall and some former Overall Winners 

(thank you guys) brought us to get the decision – let’s go and try it! 

So we sailed on – successfully – and came in overall second behind Louis Krijger - after the fifth race. 

And now it was Alen Kustics’ turn. With his assistants he set 

up a triangular course in the bay of Marmaris, exactly what we 

had dreamed of (thank you to everybody involved). 

After a beautiful start we reached the upwind mark first and 

extended the lead more and more till we crossed the finish line 

as first ship home with an unbelievable clear margin of several 

minutes - a moment we won’t forget. 

But what about boat 62, Louis Krijger and his crew? Half an hour after berthing we knew, 

we won – OVERALL!!!

We partied, enjoyed the prize giving ceremony, all the congratulations and the afterwards party 

onboard boat 39, thank you very much everybody! 

Encouraging, first and foremost in this early state, was the commitment of AVEVA, our main sponsor 

this year, represented by Bruce Douglas and Helmut Schuller, to support the ECC 2012 again, 

thank you very much! But there were also many other people who committed themselves to support 

the ECC 2012, our Admiral John Hall Hall, many former Commodores, specially mentioned David 

Boocock, Klaus Hütten and Craig Warrender, and many many people who elated us to keep a 

stiff upper lip. Thank you everybody!!! 

And then??? 

Then we came home, started the PC and began to organise this years’ event! ☺ 

First chats with John Hall Hall, David Boocock, Klaus Hütten, Karl Schmid, Rainer Klapper – 

and very soon we got a lot of useful input for our project from the beginning to the end, thank you 

very much friends! 

Contacting Michael Fass and just a few days later we were able to publish the 

first Bulletin! Great job Michael, thank you! You not just set up the updated 

website you even taught a web-infant to get on his feet (or knees at least)! ☺ 

But ECC 2012 on the WWW – without a logo? Michael Fass 

But who the hell is able to create a logo? Perhaps? – may be? – ahhhh! 

Our friend Melanie Koop and her daughter Svea from the sailing city Kiel promised their help. Soon 

we had the first beautiful drafts and were spoilt for choice! Thank you ladies, it’s fantastic to have 

such friends! 

Next step?

Where to go for beautiful locations and how to get a competitive fleet! From several proposals (thank 

you to Sasha King and Victor Llopez Wintsch) we chose the one from Milan Sangulin, 

representing Ilirija d.d. He and his team kept calm and were really helpful in every stage of the 

organisation so far and we are quite sure that they will help us to have one of the best ECC ever!☺ 

Milan, Ivan, Robie and all the helpful heads and hands from your 

team, the charter companies and their numerous supporters, thank you 

so far. 

Milan Ivan Robie 

And when we were working enthusiastically to get everything done there came some really hard set 

backs. Nils Boegborn sent the email that Eric Hamer has eventually lost his battle and passed away 

on the 1 st of August 2011. We all lost a real gentleman well known and remembered for his 

competitive sailing and his sportsmanship. 

Just a couple of weeks later, I was looking for medals for the ECC 2012. I had a phone call with Paul 

Roux who designed the fantastic medals from 2011, to ask him who produced these nice trophies. 

Just three days later I got the next sad message that Paul Roux passed away on the 19 th of October 

2011. So the medals he designed for the ECC we won will always be very remindful of Paul as a great 

artist and friendly member of the ECC community. 

Losing these friends reminds us to value the company of others and cultivate the friendship between 

all the ECC participants. 

So we focused on the social aspect and tried to provide as many opportunities for discussions, chats, 

networking and last but not least partying as possible. We found a lot of support for this enquiry.

ECC History 


The 19 th Engineering Challenge Cup (ECC) 

The Engineering Challenge Cup was founded by Arno Hemm in 1993. It involves friendly, competitive 

sailing between yachts representing companies associated with engineering. This one-week event is 

held in spring every year in the Mediterranean with six daily events. 

In April 1993, Arno’s crew was invited to join the Cap Sunion 

Rally around the Gulf of Athens. This regatta was organized by a 

former chairman of the Austria Bakery Association, who 

celebrated his 50th birthday with friends from his sailing club of 

Atterlake, near Salzburg. Ten crews raced against each other and 

after four daily races Arno’s boat became the overall winner and 

was awarded a bottle of champagne. Crew members were Eugen 

Gotter (skipper), Lothar Hasenohrl, Jürgen Arnold, Peter Muller, 

Rainer Wittrien and Arno Hemm. Most of this original crew is still 

among our ECC friends. It was such a splendid experience and 

entertaining event that during the prize giving party at the Zeus 

temple at Cap Sunion they thought, “Why not every year?”. This 

fantastic idea was unanimously agreed and Arno was delegated 

to organize the first ECC in 1994. So he did, and on Wednesday 

28th April 1993 the ECC was born. 

The number of participating yachts steadily grew, peaking in entry 

numbers in 2007 at 70 participants. This was more than seventeen 

times the number of the first ECC fleet of four boats in 

Mallorca/Spain 1994. It was about this time the Commodores took 

the conscious decision to reduce the size of the fleet, to make the 

event more manageable and to ensure its informal character 

endures. 

The ECC trophy was donated by the 1996 Commodore, Aad de 

Ruyter. 

The trophy is awarded every year to the newly appointed Commodore, who has the honour of having 

his crew’s names added to the plinth and gets to keep the trophy for a year. 

The Engineering Challenge Cup has been staged in Greece (Kos, Athens and Lavrion), Turkey 

(Marmaris, Kusadasi, Gocek and Bodrum), Croatia (Pula, Split and Biograd), Spain (Mallorca) and Italy 

(Elba).

In 2007 it was decided to form a committee to safeguard the key principles of the ECC. The previous 

commodores had voted for an Admiral to lead the committee and John Hall Hall was chosen as the 

first ECC Admiral. John honourably accepted the nomination. 

In 2012 the ECC will be held in Biograd in Croatia with around 340 crewmembers participating.

Commodores Cup 


Heinz Baedorff founded the Commodores Cup in 2000. It is a trophy awarded to winner of the 

Commodore’s Cup. All previous Commodores (or their stand-ins) are entitled to participate in this 

special event held in parallel with ECC. 

For 2012 the following previous Commodores will be competing to win 

the Commodore’s Cup: Andreas Klein, Carlos Moreno, Jan Kruiniger, 

John Hall Hall, Peter Bisschop, Pieter van Beuzekom, Klaus Hütten, 

David Boocock and Kay Heinrichs and their teams. 

Commodores are sailing together with the ECC participants in the 

same races but will be rated separately. So the winner of the 

Commodore’s Cup 2012 will be the highest ranked participant after 6 

races. Previous winners of the Commodores Cup are: 

Year Winner 

2000 Martin Noordzij 

2001 Dennis Nunn 

2002 Dennis Nunn 

2003 Michael Kuhn/Arno Hemm 

2004 John Hall Hall 

2005 Peter Bisschop

2007 Eugen Gotter 

2008 Peter Bisschop 

2009 Eric Hamer, Fluor 

2010 Heinz Baedorff 

2011 Pieter van Beuzekom 

In 2010 after ten years of Commodores Cup sailing, Heinz Baedorff 

won the old trophy (see photo above) and kept it as he has 

written in the Deed Of Gift from 2000. 

Generously he replaced it with by this beautiful new one.

ECC Charter 


The Engineering Challenge Cup (ECC) is intended 

as an annual multinational fun sporting event 

involving non-aggressive, non-professional 

sailing with the focus on the social side. The 

participants are people who like sailing and have 

an association with the engineering and 

contracting business. ECC entails visiting 

different countries in the Mediterranean region, 

meeting their people and enjoying their history 

and culture. Costs will be kept low enough that 

employees at all levels should be able to afford to 

participate. 

KEY PRINCIPLES 

1 Each year ECC week will take place and involve 6 days of sailing around timed courses 

between overnight destinations. The week will score non-Commodores and Commodores 

separately in the Engineering Challenge Cup and in the Commodore’s Cup respectively. 

Participants in the Engineering Challenge Cup may be racing in two or more fleets, 

whereas all participating Commodores will be in the same fleet. 

2 The Commodores are Aad de Ruyter (1997), Andreas Klein (2005), Arno Hemm (1994), 

Carlos Moreno (2003), Craig Warrender (2009), David Boocock (2011), Dennis Nunn, Eric 

Hamer (1999), Eugen Gotter (1995), Fred Greven (1996), Heinz Bädorff (2000), Jan 

Kruiniger (1998), John Hall Hall (2001, 2007), Kay Heinrichs (2012), Klaus Hütten (2010), 

Michael Kuhn (2004), Peter Bisschop (2002, 2006) and Pieter van Beuzekom (2008). 

3 The active ECC Commodore will publish daily results, organise a prize giving ceremony 

and appoint the winner of the Engineering Challenge Cup as the New Commodore. 

4 The New Commodore will be responsible for organising the next ECC week and for 

handing over an information pack to the next commodore. If possible, this should be by 

CD during ECC week, except the final accounts which should follow within a month of the 

event finishing. 

5 Trophies and medals will be awarded for the three highest positions in the Engineering 

Challenge Cup and in the Commodore’s Cup. The Commodore may also award additional 

trophies or medals such as for daily results, dinghy rowing race, etc. 

15



6 The Commodore will appoint a local professional team to assist him with assembling the 

fleet of yachts, safety matters, local weather knowledge, deciding the routes, laying 

course marks, determining time correction factors, organising over-night berths and 

mooring up. The professional team will have relevant experience. TCFs will be published 

24 hours before the first race and the Commodore will not be obliged to respond to a TCF 

challenge after the first race (unless associated with a performance change that occurred 

after the TCFs were published). 

7 Any skipper that has participated in ECC Week as an entry’s skipper will be eligible for any 

future ECC Week if he has less than seven penalty points (see 8 below). The Committee 

will decide during ECC week on the maximum number of boats that can enter in the next 

year. This will be based on the trends from previous years and will not be more than in 

the previous year until the target of 40 is reached when it will remain at 40. If more than 

the agreed maximum wish to enter, priority will be given on the basis of the number of 

times an entry has participated, with previous Commodores having automatic right to 

participate. After ranking in order of participations, the band cut by the agreed limit will 

be selected by lottery. The order for choosing boats will also be decided by lottery but 

without taking account of number of participations. 

New skippers will be approved by the ECC Committee on a case-by-case basis taking 

account of previous association with ECC and/or the Engineering Industry. New skippers 

will not be approved until the number participating would otherwise be below 40. An 

eligible skipper may “retire” by passing his eligibility to his established co-skipper. Such a 

“retirement” will be approved by the Committee and will be irreversible. See Attachment 1 

for the 2012 list of Eligible Skippers. A crew may enter without their eligible skipper a 

maximum of three times, after which they must “retire” or their eligibility will be 

withdrawn. Non-eligible skippers who advise of their wish to participate before the entry 

list closes will be put on a waiting list on first-come-first-served basis. Cancellations made 

after entry list closure will be offered to those on the waiting list in order. 

8 Any skipper who is found to have caused a collision which results in loss of all or part of 

his insurance deposit will be given four penalty points for each such incident. His tally will 

reduce by two points for each year without earning such points. No skipper will be 

allowed to enter while his points tally is more than six. A record of all skippers involved in 

collisions in which penalty points are awarded will be maintained by the Committee. 

9 The Commodore may impose an ECC fee payable by each participant to contribute 

towards organisation costs. All income and expenditure associated with organising ECC 

will be accounted for and any surplus will be passed to the new Commodore promptly 

after ECC Week. 

16



10 Sponsorship of the ECC is welcome in the spirit of the event. It may be used to provide 

appropriate gifts normally carrying the ECC logo, to pay for entertainment of participants 

during ECC week or to reduce participating costs. 

11 The Commodore will arrange charter deals for all entrants via his appointed agent. Each 

entrant is required to charter his yacht through the agent and use the standard 

equipment supplied (e.g. sails are only to be replaced by the agent and only if they are 

unusable or damaged). The agent will be asked to supply boats with clean hulls. Any 

entrant who wishes to clean his hull will be allowed to do so at any time during ECC week 

and is not required to inform the Race Officer. The Commodore will include this in the 

Sailing Instructions for the event. 

12 The ECC Committee (led by the ECC Admiral and made up of Commodores who 

participated in the most recent ECC event) will:- 

• Hold an annual general meeting (AGM) during ECC Week. 

• Approve deviations from and changes to these principles. 

• Maintain a record of the event’s history and development. 

• Approve the new Commodore if he is not appointed in accordance with paragraph 3. 

• Approve the date for ECC week taking account of key industry events (trade fairs, 

etc). ECC week will normally be held between late April and mid-May to avoid high 

season prices. 

• Approve the location for ECC week which will be in Mediterranean waters, to take 

advantage of the warm climate and normally moderate winds. 

• Approve any new skippers and maintain a list of eligible skippers and their penalty 

points. 

• Maintain a record of ECC Committee votes. 

Where required, the above will be achieved by majority vote of the Committee. 

13 The fleets will comprise mono-hull yachts typically used for holiday charters (i.e. not fast 

racing boats) and in the approx 38-50 foot range. Spinnakers will not normally be 

allowed. 

14 These principles were first developed in discussions involving the Commodores 

participating in ECC week in 2006 in Greece (Andreas Klein, Arno Hemm, Carlos Moreno, 

Dennis Nunn, Eugen Gotter, Jan Kruiniger, John Hall Hall, Michael Kuhn and Peter 

Bisschop). They are updated annually following the Committee meeting during ECC.

Fleet Safety Briefing 

Please don’t forget at any time: ECC is a FUN EVENT 

Doctors 

If any participant is a medical doctor willing to be “on call” in case of an urgent need, 

please could he make himself known to the organisers. 

Responsibility for Safety 

Whilst all involved in the organisation of ECC 2012 will do their best to make the event safe, the 

responsibility for the safety of each yacht and her crew rests primarily with each skipper. 

It is for the skipper to decide whether the boat is fit to sail in the conditions in which she will find 

herself. By going to sea, the skipper and crew acknowledge and confirm that the vessel is fit for those 

conditions and her crew is competent to sail and compete in them. 

Each boat member (i.e. skipper and crew) is entirely responsible for their own safety, whether afloat 

or ashore, and the vessel’s sea worthiness. Nothing, whether in this Log Book or in the safety 

procedures the committee may implement or communicated anywhere else - shall reduce this 

responsibility. 

Crew Briefing 

Skippers should give their crew a safety briefing as soon as possible and certainly before leaving the 

marina. All crew members should be aware of the locations of lifebelts, fire extinguishers, first aid kit 

and flares, how the heads (toilets) and holding tanks are operated, how to prepare for rough weather 

and how to use the gas supply safely. Each skipper should make him/herself and the Commodore 

aware of any medical conditions his/her crew have that would affect the crew members’ safety (e.g. 

epilepsy, diabetes, heart conditions, etc.). Such information will be treated as confidential. Most 

importantly, the crucial importance of holding on to something solid so as not to fall overboard must 

be stressed! 

18


Lifejackets & Harnesses 


The wearing of lifejackets is ultimately a decision for skippers and crew but the 

following guidelines may be useful: 

• Non-Swimmers should wear lifejackets at all times when the boat is underway. 

• For Swimmers it is advised to wear lifejackets when leaving the cockpit although this may not 

be considered essential in very calm conditions. 

• If the boat is reefed and/or the wind strength above force 4, all crew should wear lifejackets 

with harnesses and hook on, particularly when leaving the cockpit. 

• When using dinghies, use of lifejackets is strongly recommended for non-swimmers; for 

swimmers they should be worn in poor visibility and after dark. During the dinghy race 

lifejackets will be mandatory. In poor visibility all crew should wear lifejackets. 

Man Overboard 

It is important that each crew member takes responsibility for ensuring he/she does not 

fall overboard. Nevertheless skippers should discuss Man Overboard [MOB] 

procedures and recovery with their crew. Crews should practice MOB recovery (using 

a floating object) several times, with different crew members in charge. 

The Racing 

First and foremost, the ECC is a ‘fun event’ and the racing should never be taken so 

seriously as to risk damage or injury to participants or boats. The International Sailing 

Federation (ISAF) Racing Rules of Sailing will govern the conduct of racing. Skippers 

should be familiar with the basic rules and will be expected to comply with them. 

Key points to ensure safety and avoid collisions are: 

1. When yachts on opposite tacks are on a converging course, the yacht on port tack should 

alter course in good time to make its intentions clear to the other yacht. Skippers should not 

attempt to pass the bows of a yacht that has right of way unless certain it can be done 

without risk. 

2. When bearing away quickly in a strong wind, it is also usually necessary to let go the 

mainsheet at the same time. 

19



3. When two or more yachts are on the same tack the leeward (down wind) yacht has right of 

way. 

4. Do not cause another yacht to alter course unless she has room to do so. 

5. Inside yachts having an overlap approaching a mark of the course are entitled to be given 

room at the mark. 

6. The Race Officer will set the starting line as nearly as possible at right angles to the wind, so 

the whole of the line can be used without any disadvantage. 

To avoid misunderstanding, a yacht is on the starboard tack when the boom is on the port side. The 

wind will usually be from the starboard side but this will not always be the case when running before 

the wind. 

Weather 

It should be noted that visual signs and methods of forecasting using clouds and barometer as is 

usual in Northern Europe, usually do not give the same indications in the Mediterranean. 

It is common to see fast rising and fast falling barometer, with no resulting change in conditions. 

Similarly, cloud formations that would normally indicate rain or storms approaching, often clear in 

minutes, leaving blue skies. Sudden winds or squalls can appear very quickly without any warning 

whatsoever. The good news is that these unannounced changes are normally short-lived. 

Climate Notes 

Northern Croatia has a temperate continental climate whereas central, semi-mountainous and 

mountainous regions have a mountainous climate. The entire Adriatic coast has a pleasant 

Mediterranean climate. Spring and autumn are mild along the coast, while winter is cold and snowy in 

central and northern regions. The average temperature in the inland in January ranges from 0 to 2°C, 

August 19 to 23°C. The average temperature at the seaside is higher: January 6 to 11°C, August 21 

to 27°C. 

There are number of indentified localized winds but Bora, Sirocco and Northwestern wind blow 

most often. 

Bora is a dry and cold wind blowing in bursts from the north-northeast to the east-northeast 

direction. Bora may be associated with stormy weather, with wind reaching 100 knots or more. The 

direction in which the wind blows is mostly influenced by the configuration of the shore. The strength 

of Bora is explained by the existence of warm air over the surface of the sea, and a cold layer of air 

20



above mountain ranges in the littoral, which cause a strong streaming due to equating of the 

pressure. 

Sirocco is a warm and moist wind which blows from the east-southeast to south-southwest direction. 

Sirocco brings high waves and rain. This wind is a characteristic for the southern Adriatic, where it 

blows longer and stronger than in the northern part. In the summer, it usually blows for a couple of 

days, and in the winter it can last for a couple of weeks. The signs of the oncoming Sirocco are the 

calmness of the sea, weak changeable winds, and dimness of the horizon, the increase of the 

temperature and moisture, and the gradual decrease of the pressure. 

The landward breeze is a daily, thermic wind blowing from the direction of the Northwest, and arises 

as the land and the sea heat at a different rate. It occurs from the spring to the autumn, and during 

the day, it often changes the direction. The landward breeze blows more in the southern Adriatic than 

in the northern Adriatic. 

The Stiff Breeze is a wind opposite of the landward breeze. It blows during the night from the 

direction of the north-northeast in the northern Adriatic, and in the southern Adriatic, from the east or 

south-east. It's at its peak before the dawn, and then subsides. 

Sea Swells 

Heavy and long swells are rare and the sea state is most affected by the Maestral in the summer and 

by the Bora and Sirocco in the winter. Waves caused by the Sirocco are higher than those resulting 

from a Bora of similar strength. The sea state can change quite quickly, going from one area to 

another. Confused choppy seas often result from a change of wind direction and/or when two 

channels meet. These can be very uncomfortable and, in severe conditions, dangerous but shelter is 

normally not far away.

Emergency Telephone numbers: 

The following emergency contacts are applicable for Croatia. 

Emergency medical: 112 

Emergency fire: 193 

Police: 192 

National Rescue coordination 9155 

center at sea: 

There are more important or useful phone numbers in Appendix B. 

Emergency Calls by VHF 

In general if a vessel is in difficulty, they should call the Commodore in the first instance on Ch 71 

(see VHF Radio Procedures).The official Emergency Channel 16 should only be used in an emergency 

situation. 

Navigation 

GPS is a useful aid to navigation but its accuracy should not be relied upon for pilotage. Charts, 

compass, echo sounder and a good lookout should be the primary methods in shallow or confined 

waters. 

And finally… COLLISIONS 

Quite simply these should be avoided at all times.

Notice of Race and Sailing Instructions 

ECC 2012 will take place in the Biograd area of Croatia between 5 th and 12 th of May 2012. 

The route, weather permitting, will be: 

Biograd – Sali – Telašćica Bay – Veli IZ – Veli Rat – Zadar – Biograd 

Sailing Instructions 

Sailing Instructions will be published by the Race Officer at or before Registration. The sailing 

instructions will expand on and may amend the following briefing. 

Skippers’ Briefings & Registration 

Registration will take place on Saturday 5 th May in Biograd from 14.00 to 17.00 prior to the welcome 

party. 

Skippers’ briefings will be held every morning from the 5 th to the 12 th May to: 

• Present the course for the day and hand out course sheets 

• Advise any amendments to the sailing instructions 

• Advise any special hazards or obstructions 

• Advise other instructions 

• Provide information on mooring and berthing at the destination port. 

• Hand out the daily prizes and result sheets for the preceding day. 

The default time for the daily briefing will be 09:00 Local Time, unless otherwise announced. 

Please ensure that each yacht is represented by only the skipper or the co skipper, otherwise the 

group will be too large and some people will not be able to hear what is said. 

Disclaimer of Liability 

Competitors participate in the regatta entirely at their own risk. See ISAF rule 4, Decision to Race. The 

race committee, organising committee and charter organisations will not accept any liability for 

material damage or personal injury or death sustained in conjunction with or prior to, during, or after 

the regatta. 

23

Insurance 



Each participating boat shall be insured with valid third-party liability insurance with a minimum cover 

as stipulated in their charter contract, or the equivalent. All crew should also have their own medical 

insurance covering offshore sailing and medical repatriation in Croatia. 

ISAF Rules & ECC Amendments: 

ECC 2012 will be governed by the “Racing Rules of Sailing 2009 - 2012” published by the International 

Sailing Federation (ISAF) (www.sailing.org/documents/racing-rules.php). Skippers should be familiar 

with these rules, which are designed to ensure safe and fair racing and will form the basis of any 

decisions on protests. 

When a yacht is not racing, the 'International Regulations for Prevention of Collisions at Sea' shall 

apply. A yacht is considered to be racing from when it begins to manoeuvre prior to starting a race 

until clear of the finishing line after completing the race. 

As damage to yachts is deemed unacceptable for this fun event, it was resolved by the ECC 

Committee in 2008 to recommend that races should not start if the wind speeds are in excess of 20 

knots. The Commodore & Race Officer will review specific conditions on any day, or for any part of a 

day, with a view to implementing this recommendation. The Commodore & Race Officer may also 

recommend reefing when excessive risk of damage to the overall fleet is considered excessive, though 

this is not mandatory. 

For ECC, rule 44.1 is changed such that the Two-Turns Penalty is replaced by a One-Turn Penalty. 

ECC Race Sailing Fleet and Commodore Sailing Fleet 

The ECC fleet racing format will be by boat divisions racing in heats as shown in the table below. 

The ECC fleet will be separated into 4 divisions (red, green, white, blue). The Commodores fleet are 

assigned to a 5 th yellow division. Each boat will be assigned to a division and this will be fixed for the 

whole event. Coloured Division Pennants will be handed out at check-in or the first skippers' briefing. 

The Division pennants shall be attached to the boat on the back stay. 

Each day two divisions will be grouped in a heat to sail against each other. So there will be two heats 

per day (one start for each boat). The composition of the heats will be constant for two days. After 

two days we will change the composition of the heats. 

24



The commodores will be ranked separately from the main ECC fleet. The Commodores, although 

scored separately, will normally sail with ECC heat 2 – so that they are not sailing "alone". 

This will give the sailors the possibility to race against each other as well as against the commodores 

and should make the racing as fair and competitive as possible. 

ECC Fleet Ranking & Prizes 

There will be daily prizes for the first three places for ECC Fleet Heat 1 and ECC Fleet Heat 2 

There will be trophies and medals for the first 3 places overall. 

The new Commodore and organiser of ECC 2013 will be the skipper with the lowest points overall. 

Commodores Fleet Ranking & Prizes 

There will be daily prizes for the first three places of the Commodores Fleet. 

There will be a trophy and medals for 1st place overall and medals for 2nd and 3rd place overall. 

The Commodore’s Cup trophy will be awarded to the commodore with the lowest points overall from 

the Commodores’ fleet. 

Scoring 

The results will be based on the time sailed corrected by the applicable Time Correction Factor (TCF). 

The ISAF rules will apply to scoring using the Low Point System in which the first placed scores 1, 

second scores two and so on. The overall result combining the two fleets will be determined with the 

ranking based on each boat’s total score after discarding the worst result. If less than five races are 

held, there will be no discards. If there are equal positions in the top five places overall, each boat’s 

race scores shall be listed in order of best to worst, and at the point(s) where there is a difference the 

tie shall be broken in favour of the boat(s) with the best score(s). Equal results will remain as equal 

for positions outside the top five places. If there is still a tie, refer to the ISAF rules!

Advertising 



The port and starboard bows and the stern areas of the participating yachts are reserved for our Gold 

Sponsors. No other hull advertising is to be placed on the stern or in front of the mast on any yacht 

participating in ECC 2012. Our “Gold” and “Silver” sponsors may fly their flags at any ECC 2012 event 

and all participants are positively encouraged to promote their companies by flying their flags in 

harbours. 

Eligibility and Entry 

The ECC 2012 regatta has a restricted entry due to over subscription and the perceived need to 

reduce the overall size of the fleet. 

Entries for 2012 are limited to those eligible skippers listed in this Logbook, who have paid the 

applicable ECC Fees and have met the other applicable entry requirements. An entry form shall be 

signed by the eligible skipper, containing words such as ‘I agree to be bound by The Racing Rules of 

Sailing and by all other rules that govern this event.’ 

Late entries will be permitted to replace a cancelled entry only with the approval of the Commodore, 

generally in accordance to the ECC Rules on Eligibility stated above in the ECC Charter, and depending 

on circumstances as deemed appropriate by the ECC Admiral or ECC Commodores Committee. 

The ECC fleet in 2012 will consist of approximately 53 yachts of 4 different groups, all Bavaria yachts 

in the Small 42’, Medium 46’ and Large 47’ to 50’ size range. Yachts entering must be chartered by 

the ECC organiser and endorsed by the Commodore to be considered eligible for competition in the 

ECC and Commodores Cup races. 

Measurements 

Similar yachts have been selected for the event to help ensure the results are based on skipper and 

crew performance. To make the Time Correction Factors (TCFs) as fair as possible measurements 

have been provided under trust by each sub-charter company. These measurements have been 

assessed by our independent Race Officer to determine the TCFs. If any skipper wishes to challenge 

the TCFs, they are able to put their case forward to the Race officer for consideration prior to the 

commencement of racing. 

27

Sails 



Skippers should be aware that competitors may use only the mainsail and foresail supplied with the 

boat. Use of spinnakers or other such sails is prohibited. It is also prohibited to use any kind of pole to 

hold out the foresail; this includes boathooks and the like. In addition to the use of sheets sails may 

be held out directly by crew members, but not at the risk of falling overboard. 

Anchors 

It is recommended that anchors are stowed in the anchor locker or somewhere else inboard of the 

boat from before the start until after the finish of each ECC sailing leg. 

Obstructions 

Obstructions or areas designated as ‘obstructions’ may be announced either during skippers’ briefings, 

or as deemed necessary on the course by the Race Committee. It remains the skipper’s responsibility 

to be mindful of normal navigation precautions and nothing in any announcement designating 

obstructions can be taken to imply reduced responsibility of a boat to keep safe. 

Protests 

The tradition of the ECC is that protests are generally avoided. They should only be made in the case 

of a serious infringement that results in a real disadvantage to the protesting yacht. Any protest 

should be made in an amicable spirit and the yacht subject to protest should not contest it 

unreasonably. A skipper intending to lodge a protest must do so as soon as practicable after the 

incident by calling the Race Officer on VHF. He will try to resolve the issue immediately and if 

appropriate will apply a penalty to the offending yacht, usually by requiring it to make a 360˚ turn. A 

yacht undertaking such a penalty must ensure it does not interfere with other yachts in the race while 

doing so. 

If necessary the Race Officer will form a protest committee to make a decision using the applicable 

ISAF rules. Decisions of the protest committee will be final. 

28



Race Committee and Race Committee Boat 

The Race Officer and his team will lay the race starting and finishing lines, windward mark, signal the 

starting sequences, announce course changes, etc. and record race results at the finish. 

Balde Alen Kustic (Race Officer) Franco 

The Race Committee boat is expected to be a small motor vessel. There will probably also be a 

second vessel carrying the event support team and other support boats (RIBs). All competitors must 

respect the requests of Race Officer and his team on these vessels at all times, or else penalties may 

be applied. 

All fleet support boats will fly an ECC pennant and ECC stickers on the bows. 

Radio (VHF) Communication 

Please ensure your radio is on as soon as you return to your boat after the skipper briefing each day 

and keep it on the Fleet Instruction VHF channel 71. 

Except in an emergency, a boat shall neither make radio transmissions while racing nor receive radio 

communications not available to all boats. 

The radio channels used are listed in the back of this logbook. 

Radio (VHF) Check Procedure 

Shortly after the first skippers' meeting, a radio check will be made on the Fleet Instruction Channel 

71. The Commodore’s Boat will monitor the entire radio check procedure and will contact the missing 

yachts by other means if required. The radio check will only be done on the first day. 

If you have any reason to doubt your radio, please feel free to request a radio check at any time on 

the Fleet Instruction Channel 71. 

29

Repairs 



Yacht repair requirements will be listed by each skipper or their delegate and repairs will be 

coordinated by the team of Ilirija d.d. and the charter companies. It is intended that sufficient 

resources be available to service most repairs, so that sailors are able to race every day to obtain a 

qualifying score. Ilirija d.d., the charter companies, the Race Officer, Commodore or the ECC 

Organising Committee shall not be held responsible in any way for repair needs beyond their control 

or outside the ability of their sub-charter companies to carry out repairs. 

Berthing 

Berthing will be co-ordinated by one or more of the ECC support vessels as explained in the 

Skippers’ Briefings. Berthing instructions will be given on VHF channel 17.

General Information about Croatia 

Croatia is a Central European and Mediterranean country, 

bordering Slovenia in the west, Hungary in the north, Serbia- 

Montenegro in the east, Bosnia-Herzegovina in the south, 

and has a long maritime border with Italy in the Adriatic Sea. 

Extending from the foothills of the Julian Alps in the north- 

west and the Pannonian Plain in the east over the Dinara 

mountain 

range in its central region to the Adriatic coast in the south, 

Croatia covers a land area of 56.542 km2 and an additional 

31.067 km2 of territorial waters. The coastline stretches 

over 5.835 km out which 4.058 km belong to the islands and 

reef coastline. 67 of the 1.185 islands are inhabited with the 

largest of such islands being Krk, Cres, Brac and Hvar. 

Approx. 780.000 of the Croatian population of approx. 4,5 

million live in the capital Zagreb, the administrative, cultural, 

academic and communication centre. Over 90% are Croats 

with the majority being Roman Catholics (other religions 

include Orthodox faith, Muslims and Christians of other 

denominations). National minorities include Serbs, Moslems, 

Slovenes, Italians, Hungarians, Czechs, Slovaks and others. 

The east coast of the Adriatic Sea was inhabited as early as the beginning of the early Stone Age, 

and there is proof that most of the accessible islands were also inhabited. Thanks to the favourable 

geographical characteristics with its numerous bays, inlets and coves, the coastal belt has ever been 

a significant mercantile and nautical route. 

32



Archaeological findings prove that in the 6th century BC the 

ancient Greeks had founded first colonies on the Adriatic 

Islands. Around 100 BC, the Romans arrived, and built 

palaces and summer residences, including the palace of the 

Roman Emperor Diocletian in the present Split around 305. 

In 925, Croatia became a kingdom under the rule of King Tomislav. In 1102, after the death of 

Petar Svacic, the last Croatian king, Croatia formed a union with Hungary which, while going 

through numerous attacks and occupations by the Turks, the French and the Hungarians and the 

rule of the Habsburg dynasty and the Venetians, lasted until 1918 when, upon the downfall of the 

Austro-Hungarian monarchy in World War I, Croatia became part of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats 

and Slovenes, later proclaimed Yugoslavia. 

In 1941, German and Italian forces occupied Yugoslavia, facing enormous resistance by the 

organised partisans led by Croatian antifascists under the guidance of Josip Broz Tito. In 1945, the 

Federative Socialist Republic of Yugoslavia was proclaimed with Croatia being a federative republic 

within Yugoslavia. 

In 1990, the first elections after World War II were held in Croatia with Dr. Franco Tudjman 

becoming the first President. In 1991 Croatia declared its independence, resulting in a Serbian 

rebellion supported by the Yugoslav National Army and the occupation of one third of the Croatian 

territory. In May 1992, the Republic of Croatia joined the United Nations and in 1998, the last 

occupied parts were integrated into the country. In December 1999, Dr. Franco Tudjman died and 

in February 2000, Stjepan Mesic was declared the new President. 

Since 23. December 2011 the Croatian government is headed by 

the Prime Minister Zoran Milanovic. Croatia signed an EU 

accession treaty on the 9 th of December 2011. The Croatian EU 

membership is scheduled starting on the 1 st of July 2013. The 

country is preparing to join the Schengen Area by 2015. 

Apart from the destinations of the ECC 2012 which are described in more detail in the later chapter 

“Itinerary and Route”, Croatia has numerous places to visit, from historical towns and UNESCO 

world heritage sites like Dubrovnik with the stunning old town, Trogir with the famous St. Lawrence 

church, Split with the Diocletian palace, Korčula (the alleged birthplace of Marco Polo) and the like, 

to beautiful beaches with crystal water, quiet bays and various sailing areas and eight National 

Parks, including the Krka waterfalls and the Plitvice lakes. Do make sure to taste the great Croatian 

cuisine influenced by many Mediterranean regions including Pršut (Dalmatian smoked ham), pag 

cheese, numerous fish dishes and great wines. 

33



As they say, “Croatia like a picture, a picture like Croatia” 

34


Required Documentation 


Please check with your local embassies about the required immigration documents for entering into 

Croatia (passport / visa / etc.). 

Note that Croatia is not yet a member of the European Union and the Schengen Treaty does not 

apply. 

Please ensure that all sailing documents are available for the take-over of the yachts on Saturday, 

including sailing licenses, VHF license and a detailed crew list (which should also be completed and 

sent to the ECC Organising Committee prior to the event) which is required to register the yachts at 

the respective harbours / moorings / National Park. All mooring and National Park fees are included in 

the yacht charter price - the administration will be handled by Ilirija d.d., but of course only if all 

required information is available. 

Money Matters 

The exchange rates between some major currencies and the Croatian Kuna (HRK) are as follows 

(valid as of April 2012 which may substantially vary at the time of exchanging money): 

1 EUR ~ approx. 7,47 HRK

Sali - Sunday 6 th May 


Sali is the cultural and administrative center of Dugi Otok. Situated on the north-east coast of the 

island, with a thousand years old tradition, according to written documents from 990. From the 

ancient times it is called an ante-room to Kornati. It is a place surrounded with natural parks, 

thousand years old olive trees, with very rich cultural and sacral inheritance from early centuries of 

the Christianity. Beside the splendor parish St. Mary's church, St. Roko's and St. Nikola's church, 

there are the ground plans ruins of the Christian churches in Stivanje Polje, Citorija and Čuh. 

The place was named after the salt pans that used 

to be here. It was mentioned by this name for the 

first time in 1105. The parish church of the 

Assumption of Mary was built on the site of an 

early mediaeval church (remains of fragments with 

interlaced ornamentation have been found). 

The entrance with its Gothic vault was built by 

Master Juraj Lukačević in 1465. The altar was built 

in 1584 (there is a Glagolitic inscription above the 

door). The impressive main altar (17th century) 

features a Baroque altarpiece with a subsequently 

attached early Renaissance representation of Our 

Lady with Child, attributed to Juraj Čulinović, from 

the 15th century. Originally it was part of a 

polyptych. The Dead Christ, to the right of the 

altar, also belonged to it. 

The church of St. Roche was first mentioned in 1644 and was extended in 1855. As far as 

Residential architecture is concerned, there are several interesting buildings: the Rančić house, built 

in the Renaissance style, two other Renaissance houses (formerly owned by the Gverinis) with the 

remains of a large park, and the Baroque Petricioli house from the 17th century. 

46



Harbour : 

Sali Harbour offers power and water supply (there may 

be a charge!) as well as limited sanitary facilities (4 

toilets and 4 showers). 

Mooring is safe in all winds. 

A strong easterly sirocco blows directly into the side 

and can be unpleasant for moored boats. There can 

also be a strong bura. 

And there is something more about Sali : the Maritimo Bar ! This bar is really crazy and they know 

how to party!

Telašćica bay - Monday 7 th May 

Telašćica bay is situated in the central part of the eastern Adriatic coast, in the SE part of the 

island of Dugi otok. Thanks to its extreme beauty, richness and importance, this bay surrounded by 

13 islands and islets, together with 6 islets inside the bay of Telašćica itself, was proclaimed a 

Nature Park in 1988. Thanks to its exceptionally valuable plant and animal life, geological and 

geomorphologic phenomena, valuable colonies of the sea bottom and interesting archaeological 

heritage this area became protected in 1980. 

The area of "Telašćica" Nature Park is distinctly contrasted area with quiet and peaceful beaches 

and laid down coastline on one side and wild and rough cliffs on the other. It is the area of the 

Aleppo pine-trees and holly oak woods on one side and bare rocky grounds on the other. It is the 

area of cultivated fields of vineyards and olive-trees, as well as the area of degraded forms of the 

flora covering dry habitats. 

Three basic phenomena are certainly the main characteristics of the Nature Park: the unique bay of 

Telašćica as one of the safest, the most beautiful and 

the largest havens on the Adriatic that includes 25 

small bays and 69 km of the well-indented coastline, 

the cliffs of the island of Dugi otok or so-called 

«Stene», rising up to 161 m above the sea level and 

falling down vertically up to 90 m below the sea level, 

and finally the salt lake called «Mir» with its curative 

characteristics. The island of Katina must be mentioned 

as one of the most picturesque islands in the Adriatic, 

but the most unusual is certainly the island of Taljurić. 

The total surface of the Nature Park is 70, 50 km2 of 

which 25, 95 km2 on Dugi otok and the neighbouring 

islands and 44, 55 km2 on sea. Beautifully cultivated 

meadows and hillsides are rich with Mediterranean 

vegetation with more than 300 species of flora and 

equally rich fauna. The undersea world has more than 

300 plant and 300 animal species. 

48



Lake "Mir" is located in the south-western part of the Nature Park Telašćica. The lake is situated in a 

narrow area of land between the bay Telašćica and the open sea. After the last Ice Age the sea 

level rose to approximately 120 meters when the karsts depression met the sea, which it penetrates 

through numerous underground cracks. The sources of the sea are easy to recognize during the 

tide. The length of the lake is approximately 900 m and it is of 300 m. The maximum depth is 6 m. 

The lake is salty because its underground channels are connected with the sea. Salinity of the lake 

is generally higher than the surrounding sea due to evaporation and restrictedness of the lake. In 

the lake Mir very small changes in water levels have been found since the cracks which connect the 

lake with the sea area are of low porosity. On the south-eastern part of the lake, the sea tends to 

spill over into the lake during storms. The shores of the lake are mostly low and rocky, with 

numerous depressions, while only in the extreme north-western part less accumulation of sand may 

be perceived. The lake bottom in shallow areas is rocky and in deeper it is covered with clay and on 

a part of south-east it is covered with fine grey silt (curative mud). 

Temperature amplitudes of the lake are very prominent (in summer to 33 º C and winter to 5 º C). 

Because of that, the lake is warmer than the coastal sea in the summer and colder in winter due to 

the shallowness of the lake. The salinity of the lake is over average due to evaporation. These 

extreme conditions are the cause of biological poverty of the lake. Apart from the plankton, there 

are only a few species of marine organisms. These include: algae, goby, mullets, sea-bass, several 

species of shellfish, snails, crabs and a special type of eel (called “kajman” or “bižat” by the locals) 

which can grow up to 3 kg. 

Telašćica bay will be the location for the famous AVEVA Party, one of our gold sponsors. Thanks 

guys!

52



Veli Rat- Wednesday 9 th May 

Veli Rat has been settled in the Roman period, situated on the north end of Dugi Otok on the coast 

of the Ćuna bay, which is through a narrow channel connected with the Pantera bay. 

It`s a popular meeting point for boaters and nature lovers. 

The pearl of Veli Rat is the lighthouse Punta Bjanka, the biggest on the Adriatic's, 42 meter high. 

It shows the way to the sailors for more than 150 years. 

In the village there is a parish church St. Ante and in the yard of the lighthouse a chapel of St. 

Nicholas, the guardian of the sailors, with Roman missal from 1869. 

Northern in front of Veli Rat there is the wreck of a stranded italian freighter 

53



All berths are equipped with electricity and water (is going to be calculated separately). 

Restaurant, post, café and a small grocery store. 

You can find toilets and showers at the in 2007 newly built building of the Baotic Yachting marina 

Veli Rat which is situated right at the beginning of the base next to the reception. 

54



Zadar - Thursday 10 th May 

As in 2010 we will stay in Zadar. It was our intention to have a short race that day to have enough 

time for sightseeing time in the old town. Ilirija and our second main sponsor Doosan Lentjes will 

then provide you with finger food and some party at the Arsenal, located in the heart of the old 

town, just across from the marina. The Arsenal building is a 400 year old Venetian armoury which 

has been converted into a multipurpose venue which is truly unique. Most of you will remember this 

great and unrivalled location. 

Harbour: Electricity and water pedestals are available to all berths. The showers and 

toilets are in good working order. Other facilities include a café, exchange office, restaurant, 

chandlery, car hire agency and a casino on site, and a couple of small supermarkets just outside.

Very limited (4!) toilets and showers at Sali. 

None at Telašćica bay! 

Very limited at Veli Iz. 

Very limited at Veli Rat. 

Even though there are toilets and showers in these locations, there will always remain the same

simultaneously! 

Supermarket: Biograd, Sali, Zadar 

Small shops at Veli Iz and Veli Rat. 

None at Telašćica bay. 

General advise: 

If you take a walk, especially through any bushes, beware of ticks! A tick bite can be dangerous 

and cause tick-borne encephalitis. 

We advise every crew to take a reasonable amount of Doxycycline 100/ 50 tbl. with them, as boat 

no 39 cannot provide antibiotics for the whole fleet.

Nominated Charity 

Dear Sailors, 

Following a good old tradition we noticed at our first ECC in Croatia when the participants of the 

ECC 2004 supported an orphanage in Split we decided to support the MIRNO MORE PEACE 

FLEET as nominated charity for ECC 2012. 

Why just 

and 

? 

Mirno More (Peace Fleet) is a humanitarian project which allows poor, disabled and abandoned 

children and young people to sail one week together. The international youth flotilla, which 

started in 1992 with three boats and 17 children reached a size of more than 100 boats with 

about 950 participants in 2011. We, the Organisation Committee of the ECC 2012, will visit 

every boat and ask you very kindly to support these kids. 

For now please turn the page and read more about the project and let’s see what 

we can do!

About “mirno more peacefleet” 

The “mirno more peace fleet” was found 1992 after the beginning of the first war crises in the 

former Yugoslavian countries. The original idea was to bring together children from the 

different war countries, and to sail with them themed „united in one boot“- to reduce prejudices 

and learn tolerance. In the first peace fleet 1992 there were seventeen children on three boats 

sailing in Croatia. 

Since the first year the project grew and took place every third week of September in the 

Croatian Adriatic Sea. In September 2008 already about 950 participants from 18 nations 

accompanied by skippers and educational carers on 100 sailing boats, and set sail for more 

peace and tolerance. 

Already shortly after the founding year we opened the project for any kind of social 

disadvantaged children, which now come from a lot different social organisations. So the 

successful concept „mirno more“ has become a significant international recognised peace 

project which increases year by year through more and more benefactors. Further it is so far 

the largest sailing project for social disadvantaged children worldwide. 

Additional to our main project and based on this idea there were found new partner-projects in 

Turkey and Croatia, which also take place once a year. Further there were found new partner 

organisations in Austria, Germany, Croatia, Slovenia and Bosnia Herzegovina. 

61



In September 2010 the “mirno more peace fleet” organisation received the highest possible 

international appreciation by UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon himself, in the course of an 

official reception in Vienna, together with the Austrian Federal Minister. And 2005 we also 

received the official support through the European Union in accordance with our growth. The 

project is largely made possible through private sponsors without who the peace fleet would 

not be possible in the form that it exists today. The peace fleet became well known through 

several international TV and newspaper Reports. 

For any questions or further information please contact our office (office@mirnomore.org) and 

for requests respective media please contact our board member Leopold Frey who you can 

contact by leopold.frey@mirnomore.org or mobile: ++43-664-422 3414. 

With best regards 

Leopold Frey and Michael Fuchs
