📍 Sailing Club Delfin, TIVAT | May 10, 2026 | 11:00 AM

As part of WindFest, Sailing Club Delfin once again organizes the Veterans’ Regatta — a sporting event celebrating decades of experience, sailing knowledge, and a lifelong love for the sea.

The Veterans’ Regatta has become a distinctive segment of WindFest, gathering sailors whose dedication and achievements have shaped the history of sailing in Tivat and across Boka Bay. It is both a competition and a meeting of generations, where former rivals cross sails once again while strengthening the sailing community.

The regatta will take place in the waters of Tivat, with the starting signal at 11:00 AM, while participants will gather earlier that morning at the premises of Sailing Club Delfin.

Intended for veteran sailors, the regatta blends competition with a friendly atmosphere where experience and instinct for the wind come fully into their own. The event promotes an active life by the sea, preservation of maritime tradition, and intergenerational connection through sport.

The Veterans’ Regatta reminds us that sailing is not just a sport — it is a way of life that endures.

This year’s Wind Festival brings a strong adrenaline segment with the Urban Downhill race in Herceg Novi, taking place on Sunday, May 24, as the festival’s final sporting event.

Following previous editions held on the slopes of Vrmac, the WindFest Downhill Race is moving this year into the urban setting of Herceg Novi, where its distinctive stone staircases will become a dynamic race course. The start is planned at Španjola Fortress, with the route leading all the way down to the Škver city port, passing through the Old Town and the main square by the Clock Tower. The track is approximately 1.3 kilometers long, with runs lasting around three minutes.

The race will be held in a downhill format, with two to three practice runs, followed by qualifications and the final race scheduled for the afternoon. The course is technically accessible, opening the door for a larger number of local competitors, as well as riders from the region — participants are expected from Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, and beyond.

An additional level of quality is brought by the support of partners and sports organizations — the Durmitor Cycling Club as co-organizer, the Cycling Federation of Montenegro, as well as the Herceg Novi Triathlon Club, which will be responsible for timekeeping. Support from the Red Bull brand has also been confirmed.

The program begins on Friday, May 22, with a mini event on the pump track in Igalo, while Saturday is reserved for an exhibition event in Borići on Dizarica — a ride through forest trails developed by the local community, aimed at promoting and supporting the further development of off-road cycling trails in the Bay of Kotor.

Sunday’s race represents a fusion of sport, speed, and a unique setting, turning Herceg Novi into a stage for a top-tier adrenaline spectacle. After the competition, the program continues with music and socializing, concluding with an afterparty at Cafe Radio.

The organization of the event is supported by the Municipality of Herceg Novi, the Sports Center, and the Herceg Novi Tourist Organization, further confirming the event’s significance on the regional map of sports and festival happenings.

The event starts with a gathering at Škver at 9:00, with the first transport of competitors scheduled for 10:00.

JK Delfin – 27 April – 11h

The Tivat Regatta UNA Montenegro Cup celebrates its 20th anniversary this year. It is the most significant maritime event of the JK Delfin Cruiser Section, which has inspired many other popular initiatives, including the organization of Windfest.

An exceptional route, the gathering and socializing of local sailors, and a great response from foreign crews have, over two decades, branded the Tivat Regatta as the informal opening of the new sailing season in Boka for large boat classes. Delfin has been tasked with improving the organization of the regatta year after year.

Sailors, prepare your boats! For the anniversary, we’re preparing a great celebration both at sea and on the shore.

The regatta is open to cruisers, traditional boats, and the Hobie Cat and J70 classes. Around 50 boats and 250 sailors are expected to participate.

The race will follow this route: starting near Ponte Seljanova, rounding the “Tunja” lighthouse, the islands of Gospa od Milosti and Sveti Marko, passing through the Ralo strait, then the Verige strait, rounding the Perast islands on the left side, and returning towards the finish at Ponte Seljanova.

Spectators can follow the regatta along most of the route from the Tivat coast.

Trophies will be awarded to the fastest boat in real time and the top three in each category. The winner’s ceremony for the 20th Tivat Regatta UNA Montenegro Cup will take place in front of JK Delfin on April 27th at 6:00 PM, followed by a traditional dinner for the regatta participants.

Peani – 24 May – 12h

As part of the sports program for Windfest 2025, on Saturday, May 24th, we will have the off-road cycling race “Vrmac Downhill Race 2025,” aimed at highlighting the values and potential of the Tivat hinterland.

A great team of local downhill cyclists is organizing the event for the third year in a row within the context of Windfest, in the beautiful setting of the future Vrmac Nature Park. From the Peani settlement, gravity and muscles will lead the cyclists to enjoy challenging tracks, offering fantastic landscape views all the way to the race’s finish line in the Marici settlement.

The track is of medium difficulty, with earthy, rocky, and grassy terrain, and the competition is open to both adults and children, with parental consent.

JK Delfin – 18 May – 11h

We didn’t learn to sail on our own. Delfin has been around since 1951, passing on the art of sailing with the wind from one generation to the next. Many of our members and friends from other Boka Bay clubs now sail on cruisers, or have long left their dinghies behind, but the connection to the atmosphere and the sea doesn’t fade so easily. This will be proven once again at the Veterans Regatta, which will be sailed in the ILCA 7 class, and is intended for competitors over 30 years old. The event will be followed by a gathering on the shore with local dishes and drinks, and symbolic prizes will be awarded to the most successful competitors.
