Esimit Europa at Diplomatic Regatta in Izola, Slovenia

eseu1 At the first race of this year's autumn racing season, the European-flagged Esimit Europa 2 was again first across the finish line at the Diplomatic Regatta in Izola, Slovenia, at which diplomats are invited to take part on board of the racing yachts.  

On this occasion, the multinational Esimit Sailing Team welcomed on board the Ambassador of Germany in Slovenia, dr. Anna Elisabeth Prinz. Only a week later, with the Thousand Islands Race from Rijeka to Tivat and back, with 277 nautical miles in each direction, the week-long sailing festivities in the picturesque Adriatic Sea took place. 20 participating yachts from 14 countries raced in very variable wind conditions, facing a "thousand" different winds, many stops and even severe storms in the first leg of the race that damaged some of the yachts. But nevertheless, no one was hurt and the race ended with another line honors victory for the Esimit Europa 2. 

During the week-long regatta the Thousand Islands Race, just before the coastal race in Tivat, the Esimit Sailing Team welcomed the children from the children's home 'Mladost' on board the fastest European racing yacht for a sailing adventure. Not only does this activity reflect the mission of the Esimit Europa project, which is connecting people without boundaries, it also enabled the children to spend one day out of their regular daily obligations and enjoy a sunny day in the pleasant shade of the sailing wings, with one of the best sailing crews.

The Prime Minister of Montenegro, Milo Đukanović, expressed his support for this project. Since he was not able to join the event organized in Porto Montenegro, at which the Esimit Europa project and the fastest European yacht Esimit Europa 2 were presented during the Thousand Islands Race, he invited Igor Simčič, the founder of the Esimit Europa project, for a meeting in Podgorica, and he delegated the Director of the Directorate of Youth and Sports, Mr. Igor Vušurović, to extend the support of the government of Montenegro. Mr. Vušurovič visited the yacht at the dock of the beautiful marina Porto Montenegro.

For the occasion of the first race of the Esimit Europa 2 in Croatia at the Thousand Islands Race, the City of Rijeka and the Esimit Europa project organized a special reception, which took place at the Maritime and History Museum in Rijeka. Vojko Obersnel, the mayor of the City of Rijeka, and Igor Simčič, the founder of the Esimit Europa project, welcomed the guests representing the diplomacy and business world of Slovenia and Croatia, who attended the reception. The mayor of Rijeka Vojko Obersnel also sailed on board the Esimit Europa 2 before the reception.
