In two stages it goes from the Croatian coast from Biograd around 500 nautical miles south to the Greek island of Levkas and after a one-day stop back. The sailing will take place from October 13th to 27th, 2018. The race is aimed at both sporty and ambitious sailors as well as adventurous charter crews who are looking for a challenge in between. Each stage lasts four to five days, depending on the wind and course. There are different standard classes for the different requirements: The Bavarias 41 Sport, newly acquired by Pitter in 2017, are available for ambitious crews, they replace the older 40s. The Bavarias 45 also start as a one-size-fits-all class, with or without a blister pack. The 45er costs 3700 euros for the entire two-week event, the 41 S 4900 euros.
