Sunsail is joining forces with Orsan Yacht Club in Dubrovnik, Croatia, to launch Dubrovnik Race Week, a new international regatta, which will take place for the first time from 3-9 October 2004.

Racing will take place in the waters off Dubrovnik and involve both round the cans Olympic courses as well as some longer passage races to some of the off-lying islands, which make the area such an attractive sailing destination.

The Dubrovnik Race Week will be based from the ACI Marina just to the north of the old city of Dubrovnik which has excellent mooring and shoreside facilities. As well as the action on the water, there will be many events ashore for competitors and crews including bands, dancing, local cultural events and extensive food and refreshment possibilities.

Sunsail boats will be able to be chartered for Dubrovnik Race Week from £465 per person including flights and transfers, plus a 10 per cent racing supplement. There are also scheduled flights into Dubrovnik airport from most major European cities including London, for those wishing to come and join in the regatta and the festivities.
