Pontoons and finger piers were installed by Marinetek at the 1,200-berth marina at Svanemollen, which is close to Copenhagen.

A clean environment for sailing S


ituated on the North-West edge of Europe, Denmark comprises the Jutland peninsula and many


islands, including Zealand, where the Danish capital, Copenhagen, is located. The city is also home to the Danish Yachting Association. Over 500 islands make up the Danish archipelago, providing excellent cruising opportunities. These are scattered over a relatively small area and cruising distances between marinas are never more than a few kilometres. Denmark has a temperate


climate and the sailing season is limited to the Summer, which can be fairly wet, although enjoying long hours of daylight. The Winter is cold and falls of snow are not unusual. The prevailing winds in Summer blow from the West and


this is also where most gales come from. Because of the surrounding landmass, the winds can be variable and the weather also changes with little warning. The peak of the sailing season is


Yachting facilities are good throughout the country and there


are either marinas or fishing harbours, most providing a maximum depth of 2.5 metres, with mooring facilities for yachts conveniently situated within a short distance of each other.

late June to early August when schools are on holiday and there are many visiting yachts from Sweden and Germany, as well as other European nations. It may then be difficult to find a berth even in the larger marinas. There are, however, numerous anchorages in sheltered spots around the coast. The most popular cruising area is the archipelago South of the larger islands of Fyn and Sjaelland. The Northern part of Jutland offers the perfectly sheltered waters of Limfjord, connecting the North Sea to the Kattegat. A more convenient point of


access for yachts coming from the South is the Kiel Canal through Germany, which avoids a long passage around the North of Denmark and leads straight


supposed to use such buoys. The best repair facilities are


into the heart of the Danish archipelago. The waters between Denmark and Sweden link the North Sea to the Baltic and are therefore consistently busy with commercial shipping of all types.


Good facilities Yachting facilities are good throughout the country and there are either marinas or fishing harbours, most providing a maximum depth of 2.5 metres, with mooring facilities for yachts conveniently situated within a short distance of each other. The Danish Yachting Association has mooring buoys (marked with DS in black letters) at harbours in Limfjord, the East Coast of Jutland, the South-East Coast of Fyn and the South Coast of Sjaelland, although visiting sailors are not


concentrated in and around Copenhagen where there are several marinas. The best-known of these is Langelinie close to the


centre of the capital, although this is generally occupied by traditional craft and sail training ships, and close to Copenhagen is the 1,200-berth marina at Svanemollen. There are also good facilities at Århus and Ålborg, the latter in Limfjord. Provisioning for cruising yachts is


excellent throughout Denmark and the quality of food is among the best in the world. A wide variety of marine supplies are available in all yachting centres. Diesel and petrol pumps can be found near to most marinas.


Because of safety concerns and to avoid the risk of pollution, pumps are usually located outside the mooring area. They are generally self-service, with payment either being made to a cashier or, more often, by using a credit card. Low-duty marine diesel is not available to yachts in Denmark and in smaller harbours it may be necessary to fetch fuel in containers from a garage. Where there is a fuel berth, a pump-out system is usually in operation. Camping Gaz (butane) is available from chandlers,


campsites, Statoil roadside filling stations and some ironmongers.


Waste disposal The Danes are a very ecological- ly-aware people, so all forms of damage to the marine environ- ment must be avoided and waste disposed of with due consideration, particularly in the case of contami- nating materials such as oil. Nearly all harbours have refuse bins for waste and some provide separate bins to recycle materials such a glass, paper or organic material.


The 550-berth Brondby Havn in Zealand is typical of Denmark’s


well-run smaller marinas, with good facilities and an on-site restaurant.

aving recognised the exceptional potential of Biograd na Moru as an attractive town to establish


nautical tourism in the vicinity of the Kornati archipelago, part of which is a Croatian National Park, Ilirija d.d. built the nation’s first hotel-based leisure harbour in 1974. It was from here that sailing began to to develop systematically along the Adriatic


Coast and offshore islands. The company also procured its own


charter fleet of 40 Elan vessels, thus becoming the pioneer of nautical tourism on Croatia’s attractive coastline with Biograd at the centre of what has now become a fruitful relationship with the international sailing community. Over time, the hotel’s harbour became too small for the number


of craft wishing to moor there and, recognising the importance of both yacht racing and cruising boats to the development of tourism in Biograd, Ilirija expanded its capacity by building Marina Kornati in the Western part of town, with an additional 450 berths. This took place in 1985 and the marina and the nautical services based within it now provide employment for over 150 people.


With the total sea area (maritime


zone) of 91 912 sq m and the land area of 39 688 sq m, today’s Marina Kornati is certainly one of the largest harbours in Zadar County and the only real driver of nautical tourism development on what is known as the Biograd Riviera. The maritime zone hosts more than 40 domestic and international regattas of all classes and over 30 flotillas annually. These


are attended by up to 10,000 sailors from around the world, who come to compete in the seas of Northern Dalmatia. Marina Kornati consists of three


interconnected units: the central part with 380 berths in the sea and 70 onshore (a total of 450 berths); the Western part with 200 berths in the sea; and the Southern part with 100 berths. The marina entrance is 40 metres wide, while draft is 6.5 metres at the deepest point. By expanding its services and


increasing the capacity to the existing 854 berths, 70 out of which are onshore and 15 piers with water and electricity connections, allowing reception of vessels up to the maximum length of 23 metres, Marina Kornati is now listed among the top three Croatian marinas. Power from pedestals on the pontoons is16 amp and 32 amp (single-phase and

three-phase), and 63 amp three- phase. Water connections are rated at 4-5 bars. Apart from its own maintenance


zone in which services include hauling out vessels up to seven metres in width, a 50 ton capacity boat hoist, ten ton cranes, a 24-hour security service and guarded parking lot with 700 parking spaces, there are some 30 external companies providing


maintenance services within the marina, which ensures the provision of a full range of services to all marina guests. The marina also has high quality


showers and toilet facilities, a laundry and the Marina Kornati Restaurant with a tavern seating up to 370 people has recently been redecorated to a high standard. Thanks to its investment in modern


equipment, maintenance services and ecological control systems, Marina Kornati has proved that protection of the environment is one of its top priorities proved by gaining a Blue Flag for the sixth year in a row. This reflects its commitment to the sea around the marina and the area’s coastline In fact, if an incident such as an oil spill takes place within the marina, a floating eco-dam is deployed to prevent contamination spreading beyond the waters of the marina. Any oil is then collected for disposal. Finally, it should be mentioned that Marina Kornati hosts the annual Biograd Boat Show, Central Europe’s largest in-water nautical exhibition, which regularly attracts 50,000 boaters to the town.
