The Delfin Sailing Club is organizing a model sailboat regatta for the second time. This is a sporting discipline that has not yet taken off in our region, but it is a subject of very popular and exciting competitions in Europe and around the world.
In the Bay of Kotor, we have several RC sailboats, which have been invited to participate in the regatta in the harbor in front of Delfin, scheduled for Sunday, April 30, starting at 5 pm.
The boats in question are the Dragon Force 65 type, measuring 65 cm in length and very popular among amateurs. The sailing rules are the same as in classic competitions. A sailing field is set up, but race judges observe from the shore, where competitors control their boats. These regattas are very attractive for the audience, who can closely watch the competition.
Model boat regattas are becoming increasingly popular as a form of sailing competition worldwide. The professional International One Metre (IOM) class is recognized by the ISAF and is organized through the International Radio Sailing Association.
