RC44 Cup coming to Porto Montenegro

The biggest attraction of Tivat and the Bay of Kotor is surely the Marina Porto Montenegro, nestled between mountains and vast fjords, which is considered the most exclusive marina on the Adriatic coast. With regard to the long tradition, sailing is a very popular sport in Montenegro. Sailing Federation of Montenegro, in cooperation with 9 sailing clubs along the coast, organizes a large number of regattas for sport and cruising sailboats.
