Beneteau Oceanis 281

Beneteau Yach Rally 2009 - The best for the end of the summer

After succesfully finished Beneteau Rally, we leave to you the entire story to see how it was and how it could be to you when you join us next year. The entire ship log form the perspective of regatta comitee boat Zaglav is in front of you. There are many images and they are splitted into few galleries, divided by dates.

In behalf of Ultra Sailing Team we wish to thank all participants of this event, and to our hosts in Komiža, Palmižana and Stari Grad.

Finally jugo (south-east)! About 20 knots. The morning is still warm, as well as the sea. The best awaikening is to jump in the crystal clear sea, then you are ready for some coffee. I was curious how restaurant Menegehello looks like during the day. We were there last night but it was too dark to see around. Besides Meneghello there are few other restaurants, all in cove Palmižana from the souther side of the island. Beutifull beach, everything full of aromatic scents and colors.

Some had breakfast in palmižana, some had just a coffee, some were swimming in the sea. Geisha crew were warming up playing “balote” (Medditerranian bowling game). Considering the advantage thaty had after 2 legs, they could have been relaxed. High noon – start. Starting line is in front of Palmižana, but some boats are not patient nor carefull enough and they are crossing the line too early. They are returend back. Some are not happy because of that, but actually it is the first oportunity to sail in last few days, so everyone enjoys. The route goes to the east around lighhouse Pokonji dol, and then back to the West around peak Pelegrin to Stari Grad.

The finish time is at 5 pm. Those who arrived earlier anchored themselves and wait for time to enter the finish line. All 15 boats are entering in the same time. The “mooring man” at shore is sweating, and the harbour master is wathing this invasion. Turned all well, no damages, no stress. Everything is under control. At 17:30 we are at Palace Bijankini where is a welcome ceremony in Stari Grad with testing local specialities and different sorts of grappa. Some are taking nice bottles as souvenir. We are on time, just to calculate one more time results and we are ready for dinner at Pinetta bar. Our host Jurko Dragićević is anxiously awaiting us because his crew is preparing food since yestarday. The offer is amazing. Everything is delicous, the wine is excellent. We were sitting everywhere in his restaurant, which has few levels and rooms, at the end at chairs in front of the restaurant. The time is ticking, it is late so we move inside, we close the door, so we can continue with singing and dancing. All night long. Our guests from Belgrade were hoping to have good time, but Rally exceeded their expectations. I believe they are not the only one. And for the end to mention results, altough everyone’s a winner there!
