Yacht Club in Croatia

The history of sailing dates back to the days of rafting. Over the years, people kept improving wind-powered vessels to be able to discover new land and transport goods (maritime trade). Sailing as a type of tourism and recreation activity has its origins in the Netherlands and England in the late 16th and early 17th century. With the development of sailing, a specific pattern of behaviour and values held by sailing enthusiasts were formed. In order to cultivate ancient traditions and preserve customs, special organisations began to be established around the world. One of these is the Yacht Club in Croatia.
