It is worth mentioning that Ola won the European race according to the IMS rules, which took place on the island of Cres in 2007. Furthermore Ola won 5th place in the World Championship in Athens, Greece, in 2008.
Also worth mentioning are the results obtained by Ola in regattas in Croatia, such as the 3rd place in the annual Mrduja Regatta in 2007 and 2008 (seocnd place in its boat class). We are particularly proud of these achievements, as Marina Kastela, in which Ola is docked, is also its sponsor.
Among our planned activities for 2009 is also a participation in the World championship in Brindisi, Italy.
Among the crew members that took part in this year’s “Mrduja” Regatta the following people deserve a special mention:
Skipper Marin Miura
Owners of “Ola” Mr. Diklić and Mr Barada
Owner of Marina Kastela and proud sponsor Mr Joko Berket
