Sailing out of Zadar
The playground: the Zadar archipelago, a maze of islands — Ugljan, Dugi Otok — leading to the Kornati. Starting point: the city and Borik marinas, a few cables from the old town.
The wind to know
Upwind or down, reckon with the Velebit channel bora, the most feared in the Adriatic, against a far tamer summer maestral: that is what draws the local routes.
