Everything competitors need for the New Year’s Regatta in Hvar — entries, notice of race, accommodation and travel.
All the practical information for competitors in one place. Details are updated before each edition — for the latest notices follow the official notice board and the club's Facebook page.
As past editions ran; the exact schedule is in the Notice of Race and the notices to competitors.
27 December

Race office in the clubhouse. Bring your return ferry tickets to be stamped.

Prize giving
At the club, after the last race.
Entries are submitted online via the regatta page. Group leaders should enter their whole team at once — that is the condition for the ferry discount and cheaper accommodation. For any entry questions contact the race office at jkzvir@gmail.com.
Jadrolinija grants regatta participants a 50% discount for passengers, vehicles, trailers and boats, from about 20 December to 10 January, on these lines:
Buy the discounted return ticket at the departure port, at the Jadrolinija agencies in Split or Drvenik — it cannot be bought online. Bring it to the race office at registration: the organiser stamps and signs it, and an unstamped return ticket is not valid. More on getting to Hvar on the Travel page.
Boats are kept on the quay at Križna luka next to the clubhouse. Trailer and van parking locations are announced in the notices before the regatta — space in town is limited, so please follow the organizer's instructions.
Each year the club secures a limited number of charter boats (ILCA) for competitors arriving without their own. Reservations are first-come, first-served — contact the race office early.
The competitors' food offer is published before the regatta. The opening ceremony is traditionally held in the Hvar Arsenal, and per-class prize givings are announced in the regatta schedule.
All competitors must hold valid third-party liability insurance as required by the Notice of Race. The NoR, Sailing Instructions and all notices are published on the official online notice board.
The race office is in the clubhouse from registration day to the prize giving. Notices to competitors go on the notice board and Facebook.
