The expected arrival in Pula it’s for May 3rd, where another beautiful regatta between the islands will be waiting for us, the ‘Pulska’, now in its 63rd edition, therefore an even more historic event than ours, which we are happy to join boats coming from Porto Civitanova, from Rimini, from Ravenna, and we are very happy about this. Furthermore, this year, starting from 27 April, Pesaro will also host a historic wooden boat of Croatian origin: “Dating back to 1902, it is It was purchased by some friends from Pula who renovated and transformed it as it once was. We will need a mooring worthy of such a wonder.” An appeal taken by the frigate captain Clarissa Torturo, who brought greetings from the Commander of the Port, Claudia Di Lucca: “You deserve compliments because 38 years is a great sign of continuity – she says -.
