The Swan Croatia Challenge has opened the ClubSwan Racing season this week, with a wide variety of weather and wind conditions that have offered an exceptional race to the powerful fleet of 10 Monotypes ClubSwan 36.

Based on the ACI Navy, in the historic Croatian port of Split, the Adriatic received the teams with the classic wind "Bora" - a strong breeze of the north - which soon dawned to offer ideal conditions of race, which were repeated on the second day.

On the contrary, the third and penultimate day of this first race of The Nations League 2023 had a light breeze that forced the crews to demonstrate their skill and tactical knowledge in low wind races. Finally, the lack of wind today, Saturday, on the last day of competition, has prevented further testing.
