LATEEN SAILS REGATTA “LATINSKO IDRO”
Regulations for registration and participation in the regatta

GENERAL SECTION
The primary purpose of the “Latinskoidro” Regatta is not competition or victory, and neither is the mere participation. The primary goal is to revive the memory of a way of life at sea and the use of a specific type of boat. Therefore, any originality in appearance, equipment or sailing method gives a competitor a certain advantage in the form of a prize or in some other form.
Leut, gajeta and kaić, the three boat types competing in the regatta, are in principle neither designed nor constructed as vessels for fast navigation. These boats, especially leut and gajeta, were built as multipurpose vessels intended for managing overseas estates, which essentially means transportation of goods to the home port. They are heavy laborer boats, not intended for competition, with hardness and stability as their main features.
For this reason, competitors are asked to observe the rules for avoiding collisions at sea while sailing in the regatta, but also to take into account the maneuvering disadvantages of these boat types.

SPECIAL SECTION
The regatta is held in the name of Saint Michael, patron of the Murter parish, but it may not take place on the actual day of the patron saint, September 29.
The regatta is held in Murter and the start is always from the Hramina bay. Taking into account the weather conditions, the exact starting point and method, as well as the sailing course, are all determined by the Regatta Committee on the day of the competition.
In case of unfavorable weather conditions, the regatta is first postponed until a later time in the same day, and if the weather conditions are such that the regatta cannot take place on the same day, then it is postponed for the following Sunday at the same time.
