Sailing Club Jadro Koper is situated in Marina Koper, just few minutes away from the center of Koper, the biggest town on Slovenian coast.
The bay in front of the town’s tourist harbour has very few windless days per year, and no matter what wind is blowing, the race course can be set just in front of the main pier. Koper, with its pleasant seafront, is very much alive during the summer season, and is situated in the northern part of the Slovenian shoreline and only a couple kilometers from the Italian and Croatian borders.
A pleasant Mediterranean climate enables an all year round sailing season, and attracts sailors from whole of Europe. Regular north-west daily winds of 5-15 knots are sometimes replaced with stronger north-east (Bora) or south-east (Jugo) winds when a weather system crosses the area. Calm to moderate sea conditions with even stronger winds, and barely noticeable sea currents, are a perfect setting for all kind of sailing regattas.
Usually the racing area is just outside the marina and the town’s harbour. The racing area is very close by. And more important, spectators can have a good view of racing from surrounding piers and shores and beaches.
