The navigation, as a predecessor of a sailing sport, all-round here had a big tradition
and a deep root too. The oldest written document on those activities date from the
beginning of the last Millenium. From its very first steps, in a certain way a navigator’s
rivalry, how to arrive before the others, was present, and with a time flow that fact becomes
more and more important.
The sailing, as an Olympic and an internationally recognized sport in Montenegro
were organized in the Year 1948. In that time from 4 sailing clubs in the Boka KotorskaBay it was formed the Maritime Alliance of Montenegro, been renamed later into the
Sailing Alliance of Montenegro. From its start our sailing alliance through the National
Sailing Federation, now the SF of the State Community Serbia & Montenegro it has been
incorporated in the International Sailing Federation (ISAF).
The actual situation in the Montenegrin sailing sport characterizes an arising number
of the sailing clubs, and now there are 10 of them. But, there is also a diminution of the
number of the classes of the sport sailing boats. Now, in official use we have the Optimist,
Laser, Star and the Cruiser class. Lately, the number of the Optimist class boats is in
augmentation, which allow for more young kids to sail.
Development of the sailing sport in Montenegro should be conducted
simultaneously in a few directions. One of them is that the sailing clubs must be supported
to their activities for own roomy, infrastructural and financial progress, with a purpose to
improve proper sport work. A better perspective of a sailing sport also could be made with
appropriate changes of a Race system (Match Race Regattas etc), and that is not all what
could be done.
It’s very important, for the better perspective of a sailing sport in Montenegro,
should build a very suitable National Sailing – Nautical Center. Realization of this
initiative, which unfortunately goes quite slowly, would give a strong impulse for different
activities within the sailing clubs. Also, would be given possibility to organize in
Montenegro the regattas at the European and worldwide level for majority of the
international and the Olympic class of the sailing boats. N/A
