ZOSTER

25 years ago, a group of musicians from Mostar gathered out of necessity to respond to the environment in which they grew. They had something to say, and they had something to show. They still do. This is confirmed by the numerous hits they have gifted us, with changes in the musical lineup, through five studio albums. Four of these were recorded in the Mostar studio “Baraka.”

Connections to the story of JK Delfin and the reasons behind the creation of Windfest are apparent. Our club originated from a “baraka” (a small, makeshift building), which was not far from today’s Delfin building. Windfest was born out of the need to say and show that it is a society much more than just a small sports club; it is a primary maritime school and a dedicated guardian of the sea culture that defines the people of Boka. Therefore, we are very pleased to kick off Windfest 2025 with Zoster.

We are waiting for you, whether you’re one of our “fellow citizens” or not. The bura wind will blow on April 25th, or “Ojužilo,” “Everything that’s missing” is a minor problem when “A Man Wants to Be a Bird.” Maybe our mission is “Utopia,” but enough is enough – “Who has taken, has taken,” because it all depends on us. “A Man Named Fact” will save “The Sinking Ship.” The sea doesn’t have to, but we must use our minds so we don’t end up asking “Where are all those people going?”

We are “We will have when.” Our “Heart is Boiling.” Welcome to the fourth edition of Windfest!

20. TIVAT REGATTA UNA MONTENEGRO CUP

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.

DARKO RUNDEK & EKIPA

If you’re surprised that Rundek and Ekipa are returning to Windfest, don’t be. It was Darko’s unique music, enriched with exceptional lyrics carrying strong messages, that guided us to this decision. His words almost perfectly align with the message our festival wants to send to our town, its guests, and residents.

When you add Rundek’s tireless eco-activism and commitment to promoting sustainability principles through personal example, as well as his participation in numerous volunteer actions to preserve natural resources and values, it became clear that we needed to provide him with a stage at our Ponta Seljanova. This is a place we’ve been fighting to keep as a public beach for years.

And as we have shown since the first edition of the festival – it’s a unique stage under the stars, with a signal as if we’re on the prow of a great ship. The captain of the evening will be Darko Rundek, with his crew Ekipa, and all of us who will enjoy the journey and see off another edition of Windfest, looking forward to meeting again next year.

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.

VETERANS REGATTA

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.

MARITIME CRAFTS

For the second year in a row, the City Riva will transform for one day into a bustling hub of maritime crafts. We will be greeted by various representatives of the so-called maritime community, from sailors and divers to fishermen and vendors offering a range of “maritime” necessities – from boat engines to nets and ropes. This year, we’ll also have artists who draw their inspiration or materials for creation from the sea, and we’ll have the opportunity to engage in meaningful discussions about protecting and enhancing the maritime crafts industry, which has been recognized as one of the greatest economic opportunities in terms of developing small and medium-sized businesses in Tivat.

In organizing this fair, JK Delfin is delighted to collaborate with the Business Info Center Tivat, which has ensured that we gather representative exhibitors with whom it will be interesting to discuss their activities and view the presentations they’ve prepared for display at the Pina area.
