The Zdenko Roić Memorial is part of the regatta: it goes to the sailor who is best across the last day's navigation race and all the other races together, with no discards. Until 2007/08 it was scored in the Laser class, since 2009/10 in the Optimist class. In 2008/09 the navigation race was not sailed for lack of wind. Per the club's racing archive and official results (Laser was renamed ILCA in 2020). 2020/21 was not held; results for 2006/07 are not preserved. Overall Optimist champion by edition; the regatta also ran a separate under-12 category. Archive: 2003/04–2019/20.
