This past weekend in Biograd na Moru, the Melges 24 Croatian Championship regatta was held, which also marked the final event of the sixth season of the CRO M24 Cup.
The regatta was organized by Sailing Club Briva and took place from Friday to Sunday, with 20 crews from six countries on the starting list.
Sailing conditions off Biograd were excellent, allowing the full schedule of nine races to be completed over three days. The Italian team Melgina, helmed by Paolo Brescia, opened the regatta strongly, but by the second day Ante Cesic and his crew on Razjaren took the lead and ultimately secured a convincing overall victory.
Ante Cesic and the Razjaren crew from JK Split have thus claimed their fourth consecutive Croatian Championship title in the Melges 24 class. Cesic and Razjaren also won the sixth season of the CRO M24 Cup. The team in Biograd consisted of Ante Cesic, Andela De Micheli Vitturi, Tonci Knezovic, Ljubo Jercic, and Boris Bakotic. Regular crew member and boat owner Lukasz Podniesinski did not compete in this regatta and was replaced by Boris Bakotic.
The new Corinthian division Croatian champions and CRO M24 Cup winners are the crew of Melges Little A, sailing under the flag of Sailing Club Zvir and led by Stjepan Cesic. The crew also included Domagoj Jaklin, Ivan Kunic, Ivan Juric, and Ana Petricic. More
