Slovak Sailing Challenge is starting its pilot project in 2024 – friendly, training regatta, putting the „big plans“ with the championship aside.

The plan ashore remains the same – we keep the route of the regatta and the marinas – see info on the website, there will be more races and a joined evening program. We will adjust the final course of the daily plans according to the size of fleet, needs of crews and the weather forecast. The goal is to use the available wind conditions as much as possible, to enjoy as many races as possible – we will alternate between short navigational races and windward&leewards courses, learn new „hints“ for racing and get to know the organization of races at sea. Sailing from Sunday until Friday, complete interesting races in a community and among fond and skilled sailors who are looking forward to this joint sporting experience.

Entry fee for sailing the Salona 46 fleet has been decreased by the organizer, thanks to simplifying the organizational challenges by one fleet.

The Slovak Sailing Challenge regatta has been appointed the International Championship of the Slovak Republic for sports crews sailing Salona 46 sailboats.

You can enter the championship and compete within the Salona 46 fleet or compete in the First 45 fleet in Slovak Sailing Challenge and be part of the championship event.

The Notice of Race (International Slovak Championship 2024 in Salona 46 fleet & Slovak Sailing Challenge 2024 regatta for First 45 fleet) will be published in English by the end of February.

The regatta entries are opening from February 14, 2024, and you can find all the information about the regatta and the championship here on the website.

Welcome to the new regatta webpage for those who crave to compete in an international fleet of full-batten keelboats supplied by the organizer, with one-design equipment & comparable sailing abilities.

Fot the past thirty years there have been Slovak regattas also on the see, mainly in the Adriatic. Organizers have offered various formats and levels of difficulty in competition to Slovak sailing community and their regatta participants. We are expanding the scope for those who want to have a more sportive sailing time & compete with the maximum use of sailboats with full-batten sails and suitable racing fore sails (gennaker or spinnaker). We have prepared an event for crews and skippers who want to learn and compare their skills in sailing, tactics and navigation.

Make your brand visible to hundreds of spectators – regatta participants and visitors in marinas, TV viewers and followers on social networks.

We will help you choose a crew that you can support in their competition and gaining sailing experience through participation in the regatta.

You can support even a specific crew e.g. financially and the organizer will provide you with an agreement with the skipper from the form of visibility. Or you can also support a crew in a non-financial way to make it easier and more comfortable for the team to race, thanks to your support.

You can support young crews and skippers, women at helm or sports experts on board to gain experience in nautical sailing and competition and help build up Slovak sailing community with your support and brand.
