Of the 163 entries, a slightly smaller number of participants found themselves at noon at the start of the 23rd Fiumanka. Perfect weather conditions during the main regatta were preceded by days, as well as a morning in which the strength of the wind prevented the arrival of some registered participants. A record-breaking Fiumanka sailed from the starting line at the entrance to the port of Rijeka, and for impressions of it it is enough to look the radiant faces of the participants who truly enjoyed sailing and this year’s regatta. Alongside the regatta cruisers were the participants of the family group who prepared a real spectacle of joint entry into the harbor. Satisfaction with the regatta and accompanying activities is not hidden by the sponsors who are also active participants in Fiumanka, so many of them sailed.

This time, the conditions were in favor of the biggest maxi "Portopiccolo Prosecco Doc", which entered the finish line in just 59 minutes, and only a minute later, last year's fastest boat of the Maxi Jena regatta passed the finish line.
