Next year will truly be special – full of memories and anniversaries that will remind us of the journey we’ve taken together since the first ICCA regatta. Ten years of persistence, camaraderie, and love for sailing – it’s no small achievement! Since 2015, when we brought the unique spirit of ICCA from the Netherlands to the Adriatic Sea, the project has become more than just a regatta. It has become a community of people united by common goals, enthusiasm, and dedication.

A special thanks goes to the crews who have been with us since the very beginning, bringing their energy and loyalty to help preserve ICCA’s identity. And, of course, to all the new members who return each year to experience this one-of-a-kind adventure. Without all of you, this story wouldn’t be possible.

Let next year be an anniversary filled with new friendships, unforgettable adventures, and even stronger bonds among us.

 

Over all these years, quite a few crews have stopped sailing, but we’ve also gained many new ones. Notably, crews from as far as Australia and New Zealand, and more recently from Bahrain, who have all been warmly welcomed. We’re also in talks with sailors from Chicago in the United States and others as well.

 

Therefore, I invite everyone, including the older teams who haven’t attended recent regattas, to consider joining us next year – and let us know, so we can organize this anniversary at the high level you deserve.
