NORTHERN ADRIATIC

VOLOSKO (45° 21'N; 14° 19'E), a typical old Mediterranean fishing village (pop. about 400 in 1991) clustered around a little harbour.

Approach: Landmarks: the church with two pointed belfries, the red iron tower on the south breakwater (red light) and green at the head of the north breakwater (green light).

Mooring: The harbour is well protected from SW and NW winds. Other winds create dangerous waves in the harbour so any long stay by yachts is not recommended. Small craft, drawing up to 3 m, can berth beside the pier.

Volosko Sport Club is in Brajdica.

Facilities: In Opatija.

PRELUK (45° 21'N; 14° 20'E), small harbour at the extreme N end of Rijeka Bay, about 0.3M north of Volosko. It does not provide shelter from SE and SW winds and is exposed to the bora. Not even in summer is it recommended for anything but a short stay.

About 120m from the E point is a shoal (3 m).

Mooring: Larger yachts may anchor in the NE part of the harbour (good holding bottom). Small craft can moor at the operative coast (55 m, depth 1 m); crane (1.5 t).

Facilities: In Rijeka and the neighbouring camp for motorists (E side of the Preluk cove).
