Sailing regatta in the waters of Fažana
The Fažana Riviera was one of the first in the Mediterranean to make use of its beauties to promote nautical tourism. It was very often the case that two-masted coasters known as “TRABAKULI” sailed along the coast during summer months without cargo such as wood or wine and were in fact converted into “CRUISING SAILBOATS”. There was time for fishing in the morning, swimming during the day and singing and dancing at night.
One of the first yacht clubs in Pula “YACHT GESCHWADER”, founded by Austro- Hungarian naval officers greatly contributed to the popularization of sailing in this area.
Many regattas were held and so attracted the élite from entire Europe to our coast. In this way Pula, Brijuni and Fažana Channel became important destinations for yachtsmen and all sea lovers.
