 Round Long Island Race
 
The race was established in 2014 when Sailing club Kon-Tiki Sailing Croatia and Yacht Club Zlarin engaged their forces to begin a new story of unique, extraordinary and  beautiful regatta just before the sail racing season on this part of Adriatic ends.
 
The race is 130 Nm long and it leads thru more than 150 islands and rocks, beautiful national park of Kornati and it rounds the highest lighthouse in the Adriatic sea on the top of the island Dugi otok (Long island). The light house was build in 1849 by Habsbourg monarchy and it stands there to prevent sailors from rocks almost two centuries. With its 42 m height it is the highest lighthouse on the whole Adriatic sea with its beam of light up to 22 Nm. The racing course is depending on the wind at the starting time, in case of southerly winds, the sailing course is clockwise, and in case of north winds the course is anti-clockwise. Start is set by sunset at Thursday evening, and the winner's party starts on Saturday eve. Number of boats is limited to 25 boats.
 
The race record of 14h 52 min 20 s is held by local skipper Neven Bjazic, on the boat ĆaSa (JustinTen) member of local team Yacht club Zlarin in 2014.
