The Association of Split-Dalmatia County Homeland War Juvenile Volunteers and the Patriot Veterans’ Cooperative organized the 12th consecutive traditional memorial regatta-boat descent on the Cetina river.
On Sunday, July 18, the 12th memorial regatta was held, dedicated to the fallen and deceased defenders of the Cetina region.
Due to special epidemiological measures, the regatta divided the participants into three groups that descended in three terms, starting at 11 am, 1 pm, and 3 pm. This year’s regatta was attended by numerous members of associations from the Homeland War and civil associations, Ivana Serdarević Bravić – Ministry of Croatian Veterans Split, Božena Romac – City of Sinj, Jakov Titlić – Municipality of Hrvace, Monika Vrgoč – Tourist Board of Sinj, Ivana Žanko – LAG Cetina region and others.
The start of the Regatta was in Panj in the municipality of Hrvace. The regatta took place on the beautiful Cetina, under the bridges on Panj and Han, and the final destination was in the settlement of Gala, Otok municipality, where the last participants arrived around 5 pm.
A total of 73 vessels (boats, canoes, dinghies) were used. Namely, in order to implement all the necessary epidemiological conditions, in accordance with the recommendations and valid measures, the organizer did not announce the Regatta through the media and apologizes to all who would like to participate, announcing that next year, they hope the epidemiological situation will allow more participants with a larger number of vessels.
The organizer would like to thank Split-Dalmatia County, the Ministry of Croatian Veterans, associations from the Homeland War, civil associations, the Municipality of Hrvace, the City of Sinj, the Tourist Board of the Split-Dalmatia County, and the Tourist Board of Sinj.
