The challenge is to compete in the next America’s Cup (2011), creating a multi-year project of International sailing activities. “The distinctive element of our project is the Innovation from all the aspects” has said Umberto Pieraccioni, partner and project leader of Sport Xtension Ltd. “The choice of a Croatian Yacht Club not only stems from the deep experience that Rijeka has recently developed, but also from the fact that, for the first time ever, Croatia would have a team competing in the America’s Cup, or rather in the worldwide èlite of sailing. Absolutely a newness in the story of this long tradition sport competition".
