MIDDLE ADRIATIC

STARI TROGIR (43° 29.5'N; 16° 02'E), cove N of the islet of Arkandjel, NW of the islet of Drvenik Mali.

Approach: Arkandjel islet and Muljica islet (white iron tower with a column, white light) off the entrance to the cove are conspicuous.

Mooring: The bora is very strong in the cove and SW wind causes a slop. The E part of the cove is well sheltered from the sirocco and the bora. Yachts should anchor with the ruined chapel on Arkandjel islet in alignment with Merara islet. During the bora they should secure ashore bows-to NE. Good anchorage in SW winds is off the N coast of Arkandjel islet.

VINISCE (43° 29'N; 16° 0.7'E), village (pop. 765 in 1991) and cove extending about 1M in from the sea, on the N end of Drvenicki kanal.

Approach: Shape course for the quadrangular stone tower (red light) on the S entrance of Artatur point. Care should be taken of the low Vinisce rock (3 m), which is hard to make out against the stony coast.

Mooring: Smaller yachts can moor at the inner side of the pier in depth of 0.93.7 m, on the NE coast. Here they are sheltered from all winds. The anchorage ground in the middle of the cove (depth about 15 m) is open to waves from the E. The bora is violent and anchoring yachts should secure ashore as well.

Facilities: Limited provisions and water in the village.

MARINA (43° 31'N; 16° 07'E), village (pop. 879 in 1991) and small harbour in the bay of the same name, in the W part of Trogirski zaljev.

Approach: Landmarks: the chapel on Drid hill (177 m) on the N coast; the large tower (built in 16 C, now a hotel) on the SW coast; the conical white tower (red light) on Pasji rat (S coast); the red column (red light) at the head of the bay NW of the mole.

In Stipanov jaz cove care should be taken and speed reduced because of the floating cages for fish breeding.

Mooring: The bora is strong in the bay (it usually blows from the E) and causes waves. The sirocco, though also strong, does not cause waves. In the small harbour (depth at the mole under 2 m) boats are protected from all winds. In the bora small yachts moor in the harbour in Sasina cove. Larger yachts should anchor closer inshore, SE of the chapel and S of Plokata hill.

Facilities: Post office, medical service, shops and a hotel. Provisions and water available.
